Unable to build windows2019 image

[tedm13]

Hello,

I've been trying to build a windows 2019 image for the past few days but keep getting failed builds.

This is the command that I initiate to start the build process. I've been running this on my machine since I read that using Azure DevOps has a time limit of 6 hours and won't work.

GenerateResourcesAndImage -SubscriptionId {YourSubscriptionId} -ResourceGroupName "rg-vm-images-westus2" -ImageGenerationRepositoryRoot "$pwd" -ImageType windows2019 -AzureLocation "West US2"

After 5ish hours I originally go this error:
vhd:

vhd: See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).

So I ended up removing a few lines from the windows2019.json...
"{{ template_dir }}/scripts/Installers/Install-AndroidSDK.ps1",
"{{ template_dir }}/scripts/Installers/Install-PHP.ps1",
"{{ template_dir }}/scripts/Installers/Install-Rust.ps1",
"{{ template_dir }}/scripts/Installers/Install-MysqlCli.ps1",

"{{ template_dir }}/scripts/Installers/Install-AzureCosmosDbEmulator.ps1",
"{{ template_dir }}/scripts/Installers/Install-PostgreSQL.ps1",

but unfortunately met with other errors during the test process so tried again but now I removed the last testing step
{
"type": "powershell",
"inline": [
"pwsh -File '{{user image_folder}}\SoftwareReport\SoftwareReport.Generator.ps1'"
],
"environment_vars": [
"IMAGE_VERSION={{user image_version}}"
]
},
{
"type": "powershell",
"inline": [
"if (-not (Test-Path C:\InstalledSoftware.md)) { throw 'C:\InstalledSoftware.md not found' }"
]
},
{
"type": "file",
"source": "C:\InstalledSoftware.md",
"destination": "{{ template_dir }}/Windows2019-Readme.md",
"direction": "download"
},

but still ran into another issue with tests.

Is there something I need to do differently to get this to build successfully? Is there a way I can salvage this build or do I need to start over? Thanks for looking

@tedm13 could you try building one more time using the full template and pulling the latest changes from main?

Received a 500 error when trying to download the ghc package. I am trying again now but it's a bit frustrating that I can't retry when something like this happens and requires me to do a full rebuild. When I select retry as an option it errors at account creation and continues until it tries to resize the partition it looks like. This is the error I get when I try to retry a failed build

Looks like pulling master and just retrying after the 500 error worked. Built the image and using the VM image. Thank you!
