Access denied copying guess additions

[TraGicCode]

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue but it seems like winrm always throws an access denied error when trying to upload the guest additions to the virtual machine. Any help is appreciated!

[mwrock]

Hmm. Have not had that issue. Mind pasting in the error?

Others are reporting the same problem here: packer-community/winrmcp#8

[crayzeigh]

Just to confirm I am having the same issue. Since it seems to be floating around the guest additions I will probably just exclude them from the build on my next attempt.

OSX 10.11.14
packer 0.10.0
virtualbox 5.0.20

Notice about guest additions periodically causing issues is noted in MWrock's blog after the initial creation of the repo so I will try that for a work around.

[crayzeigh]

Confirmed that removing Guest Additions from the upload fixes the problem. In vbox-2012r2.json made the changes to the variables section:

    "guest_additions_mode": "upload",

to:

    "guest_additions_mode": "disable",

This allowed the process to complete, albeit without guest additions

[dragon788]

It would also be possible to change the mode to "attach" which simply mounts the ISO in a virtual drive and install that way, though it wouldn't require the 7zip extract phase iirc and would need to look in a different location for the installer. There was a bug with the virtual drive not being removed post Packer build, but this may have only been with the VMware builder type.
