I'm using vagrant to run a windows app, that will peform some automated program and then will shutdown.
I have been running on issues while automating the execution of the task with trigger.ruby and trigger.run_remote for multiple issues but mostly because graphical apps are finicky in terms of console ownership and other permissions.
I am trying now with a startup app creating a link in C:\Users\vagrant\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\"Start Menu"\Programs\Startup\ but even this is not exempt of gotchas as the app will run before the volume mounts are setup for vagrant.
Are there any good practices around how to execute graphical apps from vagrant?

Re: Good practice around Windows Graphical App?
Vagrant is not VirtualBox. I'm afraid we do not support Vagrant here - for that I assume you need the Vagrant discussion forums.

You are entirely right.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Apologies.
