After installing msys2, there is another `cmd` on the path which prevents shared folders from being mounted. Explicitly calling `cmd.exe` fixes the issue
This commit requires the winssh communicator class wihtin the public_key
capability for Windows. Prior to this commit users could run into a
situation where Vagrant would check if the machine could speak in WinSSH
and fail on an uninitialized constant.
Before the patch this error will happen if the original directory already exists

==> windows: Showing rsync output...
The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!
mkdir '/cygdrive/c/inetpub/wwwroot'
Stdout from the command:
Stderr from the command:
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/cygdrive/c/inetpub/wwwroot’: File exists

After the patch, this is result

Windows offers no out-of-the-box rsync utility. By far, the most
commonly used external utilities for Windows rsync are built with the
GNU Cygwin libraries. The cost for this convenience is that rsync on
Windows has to be provided paths that begin “/cygdrive/c” rather than
“c:/“ like other Windows-API utilities. Compounding the situation,
rsync doesn’t create paths/to/sub/targets and so the vagrant plugin
code, when performing an rsync, is responsible for creating
intermediate directories in guest paths if there are any. Furthermore,
the mkdir utility in Windows is not another Cygwin utility like rsync
but the routine mkdir of Windows command.com. Therefore, while rsync
needs the /cygwin paths, mkdir uses the Windows paths. Later, the
chef_solo.rp provisioner running within the guest will expect to find
Windows-style paths in its solo.rb configuration file. Due to all this,
vagrant has to keep track of both the original, possibly dirty Windows
guest path and the cygwin-scrubbed guest path.
When upping a Win XP box, vagrant found a lot of "virtual" network
connections that did not have DHCP enabled, and tried to configure them
for DHCP. This did not work because their :net_connection_id is nil.
Ignoring these network connections enabled the XP box to be upped.
Removed dependency upon netdom which is not always available on all Windows versions. This implementation that uses PowerShell and WMI should work on all OS and PowerShell versions.
Fixed another issue where host renames would always happen when the hostname was longer than 15 characters. The COMPUTERNAME environment variable only returns the first 15 characters so we no longer use that to check the current host name.
Reboot the Windows guest after renaming the computer so changes take affect immediately before attempting to provision the box.
- Changed rename from wmic to netdom since netdom seems to work correctly in Windows 2008R2 and newer OSs.
- Fixed Windows guest error translations, the wrong namespace was specified in the yaml file.
- Fixed typo in helper test
- Removed extraneous machine.config prefix from Windows guest config validation
- Added WinRM communicator unit tests
- Added Windows guest capability unit tests
