I've done some of it, but it wasn't particularly easy.

We use VMWare. What we were doing was using an AutoIt script to
automate a process on the host PC that reset the VM and entered mouse
clicks and keypresses into the guest VM machine. That launched an
automated script on the guest machine to perform the install/upgrade
and report back the success. It was kinda clunky, but it worked
fairly reliably.
At that time, VMWare didn't have any API exposing the ability to
control the guest machines from the host machine. I think they have
something like that now, but we never investigated it further. I
have used VPC only very briefly, so I can't comment on it specifically
for this sort of scenario.
