Post-Processing not needed

[Ehsan Tajek]

Hello all

i'm using hyperv-iso builder to build my vm with specific configuartion. I'm using Windows 10 with Hyper-V activated, so the builder itself is pretty great.

After packer finishes everything it deletes the vm and export the vagrant box. How I can keep the VM, because it does everything I need, I can connect with it through the hyperv connector, so vagrant is not really needed.

Thank you for helping me!

Kind regards,

Ehsan

Just remove the post-processor vagrant section of your template.

Hi Rickard,

i did that, but still it deletes my vm and create an output file, which I need to manually create the VM again. 

See picture. How i can fix that?

Try setting "skip_export" https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/hyperv-iso.html#skip_export
