creating vm and running installation script in azure

I'm looking for a way to run a script that creates a simple windows vm with rdp port and installs a software on it in order give our clients a simple sand boxed server for testing purposes. Is there a simple way to do that as I've been struggling for a while now.

You should use custom script extension for Azure VM. Depending on how you create vms you can use powershell\cli\arm templates\rest api\sdk to use that extension.

sample powershell:

$ProtectedSettings = @{"commandToExecute" = "powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -File \\filesvr\build\serverUpdate1.ps1"};

Set-AzureRmVMExtension -ResourceGroupName myRG 
    -Location myLocation ` 
    -VMName myVM ` 
    -Name "serverUpdate" 
    -Publisher "Microsoft.Compute" `
    -ExtensionType "CustomScriptExtension" ` 
    -TypeHandlerVersion "1.9" `
    -ProtectedSettings $ProtectedSettings
