When running packer with the windows10.json file, the ISO URL in the template results in a 403 error.

Thanks for raising the issue. It looks like the token expires in the URL after a certain period of time. There's not much I can do to get around that outside of hosting the ISO somewhere, so I'll just issue some guidance on how to find the URL for the ISO manually to update it.
This actually looks like an issue with MS servers not playing well, you can see more here, but can't find a fix at this moment.
OK I found a workaround, if you run the ISO URL through a URL shortener it works. I'll update the main readme.
