Extend the oscdimg documentation with the following:

  • Add Windows ADK download link to make it more easily accessible.
  • Document need for adding oscdimg.exe to PATH so that packer can detect it. This was at least needed when I tested it.

Related issue: hashicorp/packer-plugin-sdk#310 for auto-detecting Oscdimg.exe.

Question: I found the "Creating an ISO From a Directory" documentation sections somewhat redundant and confusing, since it's probably easier for most developers to instead use cd_files to let packer create the ISO automatically. Therefore, could it be an idea to just delete this documentation, so that new developers avoid spending time on reinventing what cd_files already does?
