Having troubles trying to make a Hyper-V box

[Ariel JGS]

Hello, I've been trying to make a new Hyper-V box but I don't know what am I doing wrong, I'm following the steps in the documentation and I'm not sure where is the mistake. I made a debian VM with Hyper-V, it has 1 GB RAM, 100GB hard disk, user vagrant with password vagrant, same with root, I installed the hyperv-daemons so the VM reports its IP address in the "networking" tab. I exported my VM and it generated 3 folders: Snapshots, Virtual Hard Disks and Virtual Machines. I deleted Snapshots and created a metadata.json file with the following information:

{
  "name": "arieljgs/debian10",
  "description": "This box contains Debian 10.03 CLI 64-bit.",
  "versions": [
    {
      "version": "1.0",
      "providers": [
        {
          "name": "hyperv",
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Then I added everything to a .zip file, including the .json file. After that I used the command vagrant box add --name arieljgs/debian10 "D:\Vagrant Boxes\Debian 10.3.0 CLI\Debian 10.3.0 CLI.zip" and I'm getting the following error:

The metadata associated with the box 'arieljgs/debian10' appears corrupted.

This is most often caused by a disk issue or system crash. Please

remove the box, re-add it, and try again.

Does anyone know what's happening here? Any help will be appreciated

hello

i think the file need to be tar

you can try to inspect an existing hyper-v vm and test repackage it

here is one example:

https://vagrantcloud.com/hashicorp/boxes/bionic64/versions/1.0.282/providers/hyperv.box

kikitux@nuc8:~/Downloads$ mkdir h

kikitux@nuc8:~/Downloads$ cd h
kikitux@nuc8:~/Downloads/h$ tar zxvf ../hyperv.box

metadata file is quite simple

cat metadata.json 
{"provider":"hyperv"}
