[wix-devs] wix3 build errors

I am new to wix3 and I am having a problem building with msbuild from my VS
2017 Developer command prompt.  Please help me get past the build error.

I tried searching the archive for this mailing list and there is some kind
of ht://Dig error ... so I apologize if this question has already been
answered.

To build I cloned wix3  `git clone https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3.git
-b wix3111` and then I executed `msbuild wix.proj`.

Here is the bottom of my build output which sumarizes the build failures.
