Before building the installer, download the extra build dependencies
using Tools\msi\get_externals.bat. (Note that this is in addition to the
similarly named file in PCbuild.)
One of the dependencies used in builds is WiX, a toolset that lets developers
create installers for Windows Installer, the Windows installation engine.
One of the dependencies used in the build process is WiX, a toolset that
allows developers to create installers for Windows Installer, the
Windows installation engine. If you're not using the copy of WiX
installed by Tools\msi\get_externals.bat, you'll need to set the
"WixInstallPath" environment variable before building.
Additionally, make sure "MSVC v14x - VS 20xx C++ ARM64 build tools" are
selected under "Desktop Development with C++" in "Visual Studio installer",
even if you are not building on ARM64. This is required because we have
upgraded to WiX-3.14, which requires these tools for Python 3.11 and later
versions.
Additionally, ensure that "MSVC v14x - VS 20xx C++ ARM64/ARM64EC build tools"
is selected under "Desktop Development with C++" in the "Visual Studio Installer",
even if you're not building on ARM64. This is required because we've upgraded
to WiX 3.14, which requires these tools for Python 3.10 and later versions.
For testing, the installer should be built with the Tools/msi/build.bat
script:
