I'm having what appears to be an identical issue, only I am trying to use both VirtualBox and VMware Fusion Pro.

Host System

• OS: macOS 12.6 (Monterrey)
• Packer Version: 1.8.3
• Vagrant Version: 2.3.1
• VirtualBox Version: 6.1.38 r153438 (Qt5.6.3)
• VMware Fusion Pro Version: 12.2.4 (20071091)

Command Output

The error is occurring with both variants of the command (VMware Fusion Pro and VirtualBox):

• packer build --only=vmware-iso ./packer/templates/windows_2008_r2.json
• packer build --only=virtualbox-iso ./packer/templates/windows_2008_r2.json

The error happens at the same place, after the second VM reboot.

I get the same thing as well. This is the actual error when it tries to run vagrant.ssh and the chocolatey.ps1 script:
