Kitchen hangs during test chef role

Question

I have creating some chef cookbooks and all works correctly. Now I want to use kitchen for testing my recipe and cookbooks. Kitchen run on Linux centos 7 and I use virtualbox.

If I launch recipe to install ms_dotnet 4.5 on win server 2008 all works correctly.

If I launch the same recipe using kitchen on same platform chef client hangs on this message update content in file (file sizes exceed 10000000 bytes, diff output suppressed)

If I open virtual box and show the desktop, the directory and the executable of .dotnet 4.5 is present. And if I try to install the .dotnet 4.5 without kitchen all runs correctly.

How can I resolve my problems?

Thanks you so much

This is my kitchen config

driver:
  name: vagrant
  boot_timeout: 1200
provisioner:
  name: chef_solo
  require_chef_omnibus: 12.5.1

platforms:
  - name: softsolutions/redhat72
  - name: softsolutions/centos67  
  - name: softsolutions/centos7  
  - name: softsolutions/opensuse113
  - name: softsolutions/win-2008r2-standard-amd64-nocm
    transport:
        name: winrm
  - name: softsolutions/win-7-professional-amd64-nocm
    transport:
        name: winrm  

suites:
  #Roles for physical machines
  - name: do-base
    run_list:
        - role[do-base]

And this is my kitchen log (when try to install dotnet 4.5)

I resolved my problems!

I modify my kitchen.yml and insert:

  - name: softsolutions/win-2008r2-standard-amd64-nocm-sp1
    transport:
        name: winrm
        elevated: true
        elevated_username: System
        elevated_password: null

Now msdotnet cookbook works correctly.

Thanks you
