Before building the installer, download the extra build dependencies

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

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

is selected under "Desktop Development with C++" in the "Visual Studio Installer",
