Create custom Windows BYOL images failed

[Pylypp]

Hi
I was trying to build windows 11 image using this link

1. Error:

Error validating workflow: networkResourceDoesNotExist: step "windows-build" validation error: networkResourceDoesNotExist: step "run-bootstrap" validation error: networkResourceDoesNotExist: projects/<PROJECT>/global/networks/default does not exist

I couldn't find the way to provide network name so I just created default one. We don't use default networks anywhere
2. Now the build hangs at:

WaitForInstancesSignal: Instance "install-windows-11-21h2-pro-x64-uefi-windows-build-l7x67": watching serial port 1, FailureMatch: ["Windows build failed"] (this is not an error).

The instance is shut down already, seeing logs there

GCEMetadataScripts: Finished running startup scripts
GCEMetadataScripts: Starting shutdown scripts (version 20230403.00)
GCEMetadataScripts: No shutdown scripts to run
GCEGuestAgent: GCE Agent Stopped
The SAC will become unavailable soon.  The computer is shutting down.

Got the same issue here.

The image build workflows currently only support the default value of the network/subnetwork values.

In the documentation,
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images/creating-custom-windows-byol-images#preparing_the_project, it does include a note of a workaround for making a default network is you don't have a default network.

Note: The build process assumes that your project contains a default network. If you've disabled the creation of default networks in your organization, you must manually create an auto-mode VPC network named default.

Another workaround would be to fork the workflows to add those values to the CreateInstances object as the image-import process does that.

Hopefully one of those workaround works for you. I've opened a feature request/enhancement around this specific issue at #2329
