[wix-devs] More on Wix 4.0 Build Problems

[Rebecca Cran]

I hit the same problem and solved it by modifying the VS2019 install to 
include the latest version of the various v142 tools, SDKs etc.

I subsequently ran into it wanting the VS2017 bits too, so I went and 
installed those components in my VS2019 installation too. After that the 
build succeeded.
