Windows Build issues with clean install of OS

[blindrain]

I've run into several issues Building PVEVDI Client in Windows 10 22H2 Clean install of Windows,
1st I had Trouble installing wix, I had to install .net SDK which I couldn't find any documentation for that.
I had trouble with pysintaller not working. Found out that it doesn't seem to install it in a location that the path variable knows about.
even though python is in path.

now even though I can run wix --version in any command prompt createmsi.py can't find it.

Considering theres not much documentation on how to use wix with python. I don't know where or who to ask but you.

with older version of wix It had it's own installer file not requiring .net sdk to install it via a command line. everything just worked. Found my solution for the last issue by using wix 3.11 installer from Wix 3

Left open to make it easier for others to find and resolve this issue until documentation is updated to either use this method or the new wix install.
