Can the windows shell provisioner access the WinRMPassword variable like in the below example?

{

"type": "windows-shell",

"environment_vars": ["WINRMPASS={{.WinRMPassword}}"],

"inline": [

"reg add \"HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon\" /v AutoAdminLogon /t REG_SZ /d 1",

"reg add \"HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon\" /v DefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d packer",

"reg add \"HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon\" /v DefaultPassword /t REG_SZ /d %WINRMPASS%"

]

}

Each time i've tried i've only gotten this.

C:\Users\packer>reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultPassword /t REG_SZ /d <no value>

It can't. Can you make a feature request on github?
