Create an image for the Windows build server #825

Still failing. @fraca7, can you have a look at it? |
|
Sorry, missed it. I'm taking a look. |

Looks like git.exe forks subprocesses that don't exit cleanly. It caused an "access denied" error when trying to delete the directory. The build script now works in a temporary directory and ignores errors when deleting it at the end of the build. As for the image, I'm pretty sure this kind of usage is not covered by the Windows license :( |

Thanks @fraca7 . Legally, the image shouldn't be a problem - we can just start with an unactivated VM. Microsoft even provides their own cloud hosting, so I'm pretty sure they have that problem solved. |

Not sure they support XP, it dates back to when virtualization was avant-garde :) Anyway, I'll get in touch by e-mail. |
Currently, the Windows build server is often failing with an HTTP 500 error. @fraca7 Any idea why?
In any case, it would be great to have an OVA or AMI of a Windows build server so that we could deploy an alternative one on short notice.
