cerbero.errors.FatalError: Fatal Error: The required packaging tool 'WiX' was not found

Two things, really.

I'm trying to get essentially a build similar to what I'd get if I downloaded the MSVC 64-bit (VS 2019) build from here: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/. I'm a little concerned I'm still building simply the mingw binaries. I'm essentially doing the following (from Windows):

./cerbero-uninstalled -c config/win64.cbc bootstrap

and then

./cerbero-uninstalled -c config/win64.cbc package gstreamer-1.0

But I'm seeing files named "libgstwebrtc.dll", etc. under "cerbero\build\sources\mingw_x86_64" instead of "cerbero\build\sources\windows_x86_64" which I would assume to be the location for the Visual Studio-built binaries. I'm taking instructions from https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/installing/building-from-source-using-cerbero.html?gi-language=c and https://www.cardinalpeak.com/build-gstreamer-on-windows-an-advanced-tutorial/.

In addition, I've installed Wix per the instructions laid out here: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/installing/building-from-source-using-cerbero.html?gi-language=c, but I'm getting the following error right at the end of the build process (any thoughts on debugging this? I'm so close...). I really, really want to get a build environment going here for Windows that'll produce the Visual Studio-produced binaries we use in our product so I can start testing some changes, etc.

Re: cerbero.errors.FatalError: Fatal Error: The required packaging tool 'WiX' was not found

For MSVC, you need to enable the visualstudio variant as mentioned at: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/cerbero#windows-targets.

For Wix, you need to install Wix manually: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/cerbero#install-other-tools. You should probably also look through all of the windows-specific README: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/cerbero#installing-minimum-requirements-on-windows.

Hah, thanks mate. Brilliant as always.
