kitchen diagnose --all is clean and kitchen.log is empty

It is likely an error with the PowerShell running behind the scenes. To see what that is run

kitchen create -l debug

and you'll get the debug output. If you can paste that here or in a gist, I can show you what powershell is running and we can run it interactively to see what error powershell is giving us.

I need to surface that better in the driver. :)

@jbruettcva you'll want to run

. C:/Users/jbruett/AppData/Local/chefdk/gem/ruby/2.1.0/gems/kitchen-hyperv-0.1.7/lib/kitchen/driver/../../../support/hyperv.ps1;
$NewVMParams = @{

MemoryStartupBytes = 1073741824

SwitchName = "external_wired"
ProcessorCount = 2
}
New-KitchenVM @NewVMParams | ConvertTo-Json

and see what the result is.
