Chef: Kitchen Converge fails on Windows 10 Guest using Vagrant FileTransporter Error

Question

As described in the bug I created here:

https://github.com/test-kitchen/kitchen-vagrant/issues/407

When I perform a kitchen converge on a freshly created Windows 10 box, it connects and begins syncing the cookbooks locally on the box, but it fails with the error:

>>>>>> ------Exception-------
>>>>>> Class: Kitchen::ActionFailed
>>>>>> Message: 1 actions failed.
>>>>>>     Failed to complete #converge action: [[WinRM::FS::Core::FileTransporter] Upload failed (exitcode: 0), but stderr present

One work around to this issue I've discovered so far is to manually create the:

c:\tmp\kitchen\cookbooks empty directory on the box before running kitchen converge. This fixes the issue and causes the converge to happen successfully, but using this approach permanently isn't ideal as you would need to either bake it into the image or run something injected prior to the synchronization of the cookbooks.
