For master you can download from http://jenkins.buildacloud.org/job/cloudstack-master-hyperv-agent and for other releases search for appropriate job at http://jenkins.buildacloud.org/ . 

Creating Hyper-V Agent Installer

To build on windows you have to follow instructions of step 1 at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Setting+up+a+CloudStack+dev+environment+on+Windows.

Note: Apart from installing service you have to manually create and add ssl certificate.

msiexec /i CloudStackAgentSetup.msi /quiet /qn /norestart /log install.log SERVICE_USERNAME=<username> SERVICE_PASSWORD=<password> INSTALL_CERTIFICATE="False"

Deploy software via Group Policy’s Scheduled Tasks

Create .bat script which does the following

• copies CloudStackAgentSetup.msi from a networked resource (shared folder) to Hyper-V host
• installs the CloudStackAgentSetup.msi(use one of the method mentioned in above section, Installing msi through command line)
• set the appropriate location for logs (replace install.log with your file)
• deletes the CloudStackAgentSetup.msi from Hyper-V host after installation
• save the .bat file as install-cloudstack-hyperv-agent.bat .

Create and deploy a scheduled task via group policy

• Open Group Policy Management
• Navigate to the Organization Unit you wish to receive CloudStack Hyper-V Agent deployment via a schedule task
• Right-click on your target OU and select “Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here”
• Name: Deploy Application via Scheduled Tasks
• Group Policy Management Editor > Computer Configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Scheduled Tasks
• Right-click on Scheduled Tasks > New > Scheduled Tasks
• Tab Tasks > Action > Create
• Tab Task > Name > Install CloudStack Hyper-V Agent
• Tab Task > Run > \\path to bat script\install-cloudstack-hyperv-agent.bat

• Tab Schedule > Scheduled Task > Once, 2:00:00 AM
• Tab Schedule > Scheduled Task Once > Run On > Pick a day that is best for you
