Build Windows Image - how to copy installation files from network share into the image

Packer

Hi,

We do need to use PACKER to build Windows Gold Images and these Images require some agents and other software installed, prior to be closed and made as images. However, we seem to have trouble copying the installation files from a network share into the image.

Any help or hints would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Kind regards,
Antonio

Sure Deepak, use wget to download the data (on a zip or so) to a folder, then expand-archive or so to expand and finally, install. Thank you.
