  • Worked around the Windows 7 build problem, I think it has to do with duration of the build so I streamlined it by removing chocolatey package from smoke tests. Long term goal is to use vagrant for provisioning anyway.
  • Building using latest VirtualBox directly from upstream
  • New Clean step that removes the large vagrant box files on successful builds (was generating a lot of stress for our backups)

Such a small diff for the last 19 days I spend trying to get Windows 7 builds to work...

Required adjustments to dependencies
Turns out slow build time and/or heavy logging might be the culprit as
to why Windows 7 builds were failing.

Acceleration only impacts smoke test config so we can merge this w/o
regressions.
Since downgrading didn't resolve build issues in itself we are back to
the latest and greatest packer version.
host network: to be able to connect to the VRDP to troubleshoot builds

/tmp access: VirtualBox uses /tmp to store locks, this will prevent
             concurrent access to the same VMs
