WiX v3 is available at https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/releases/. It requires .NET Framework 3.5, which can be installed with the following command:

Start-Process `
    -FilePath pwsh `
    -ArgumentList "-Command `"& {Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName NetFx3}`"" `

Check if PATH was set correctly:

You may need to restart your Windows session if you can't find ninja even after restarting your terminal.

Build

You need Internet access to execute the build process to download the Apache JMeter binaries.
