Hi,
I would be interested in a script that will allow for running windows under
Linux.

I take it you mean you need to run Linux on a virtual machine. If you have
to create andrun a virtual machine from a Linux distrobution, then you're in
luck. VirtualBox for Linux might be the most accessible virtual environment
there is. All configuration of the virtual machine can be done at a command
prompt with VirtualBox.


I can send you a Linux bash script that creates a virtual machine and
installs Windows 10 on it. You need a Windows 10 installation image and a
installation key. But it runs on a Linux machine.


If that won't do, I suggest you look into using the VirtualBox command line
for Windows. A quick google search found this page which seems like a good
place to start:

I really think that using the vboxmanage command is the way to go here. 
I've had a great deal of success with it in Linux.
