vcvarsall.bat is missing about packer

Hi @gusztavvargadr , sorry for the noise I've figured out this error happens when Visual Studio does not include the C++ development module. So on top of your gusztavvargadr/windows-server, in my provisioning I need to add something like this:

vs_community.exe --installPath $vsHome
        --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop
        --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64
        --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK.19041

Thanks a lot for your excellent work! 👍

@dmikushin sorry for the delayed response.

Glad that you could figure this out. If you have any recommendations on new tooling in the boxes, feel free to open a dedicated issue. For VS, I have some provisioning samples https://github.com/gusztavvargadr/chef using Chef. I currently have boxes for VS on the client versions of Windows (10 and 11), but can add back VS on top of Windows Server if needed.

Thanks!

@dmikushin just to confirm, which box and which provider / version are you using? Can you maybe share your Vagrantfile too to reproduce it easier? Btw I'm using the default installer with standard parameters, you can take a look at them here.
