packer build fails due to BGinfo.exe being too big for a 1.44MB floppy
Bginfo.exe (downloaded today from the site linked in README using the Download BgInfo link) is 2.9MB, twice more than 1.44MB floppy max size:
$ ls -lh floppy/bginfo/Bginfo.exe
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 user staff 2.9M Jan 17 2018 floppy/bginfo/Bginfo.exe
I will try a workaround by commenting out anything relating to setting background and do a build then, but thought you must have run into the issue yourself and that I should report it.
Full output of running packer build (some paths redacted for privacy):
$ packer build -only=virtualbox-iso -force -on-error=ask template-output/MSEdge-Win10.json
virtualbox-iso output will be in this color.

@dusek I switched to using a cdrom and EFI for windows 10. I haven't uploaded the code yet because there are some parts that arent fully automated. Another option is to dig an older version of that file that's smaller.
@molant Thanks for the tips. In the end, I managed to work around this by removing BGinfo.exe from the floppy and commenting out copying and execution of BGinfo.exe in install.vbs.
Technically there were 2.88MB floppies in the past and as a virtual floppy the size shouldn't matter unless it is hardcoded to a certain size somewhere.
