Build Windows CI Image automated, painless, and reproducible.

• wim\install.wim from windows server 2022 iso X:\Sources\install.wim
• CustomResources\SxS\Microsoft-Windows-NetFx3-OnDemand-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~.cab from windows server 2022 iso X:\Sources\SxS
• CustomResources\OpenSSH-Win64-v9.2.2.0.msi from github
• 3rdparty\CloudbaseInitSetup_x64.msi from cloudbase
• 3rdparty\packer.exe from hashicorp
• 3rdparty\virtio-win-0.1.229.iso from fedora
• 3rdparty\zapfree.exe from github

You have to run these scripts on a Windows machine which has Hyper-V enabled. Nested Virtualization is OK.

For the very first time before you can use packer:

.\3rdparty\packer.exe init .\config.pkr.hcl

For the every time when you have changed your wim:

.\build-gold-image.bat

For the every time when you have changed custom resources:

.\build-online-image.bat
.\covert-to-packer-base-vhdx.bat

And then for the every time when you have changed pakcer scripts:

.\build-packer.bat

The built image will be located at output-vm\Virtual Hard Disks\packer-vm.vhdx.
