to Packer
Hi all,
I was wondering if someone can help me out with debugging this issue I'm using packer and trying to build a windows image in Azure. I'm using a PowerShell provisioner to install 3ds max 2019 with the following command Start-Process cmd.exe -ArgumentList @('/c','Setup.exe', '/t','/c','/q','MAXIO:', 'INSTALLDIR=C:\\Autodesk\\3dsMax2019\\', 'InstallLevel=5') -wait .It seems to be freezing while trying to install 3ds Max, I'm thinking it is blocked/or asking for user input via GUI. If I RDP into a general windows VM and execute the same command it works fine, but it just stalls from within packer. Is it possible to RDP machine while it's building to see if a GUI prompt has opened up? Or do you have any other ways I debug what packer is doing after executing that command?

Any assistance would be helpful.
