It's probably blocked by a firewall or something. Can you try downloading it manually and unpack it into the src-tauri dir so that the project structure looks similar to this:

./
  src/
  src-tauri/
    WixTools/
      many files, for example "candle.exe"

Sorry, this issue shows again in my project. It also wanna download this compressed file after I unziped into the current folder that you said.

[peterroe]

Are you sure? This shouldn't happen if you do as I said.

[FabianLars]

Actually the location of the WixTools directory changed. It is now in C:\Users\your-username\AppData\Local\tauri\WixTools

[liudonghua123]

Yes, the location is changed, you should extract wix311-binaries.zip to %LOCALAPPDATA%\tauri\WixTools, not put wix311-binaries.zip in %LOCALAPPDATA%\tauri\WixTools or you will got Warn WixTools directory is missing some files. Recreating it. warnings.

See https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/b7277357b960521b04b4d9153bd402953cd483df/tooling/bundler/src/bundle/windows/msi.rs#L28C1-L44

[liudonghua123]

And you should also do the similar things for nsis. Extract nsis-3.zip to %LOCALAPPDATA%\tauri\NSIS, NSIS-ApplicationID.zip/ReleaseUnicode/ApplicationID.dll to %LOCALAPPDATA%\tauri\NSIS\Plugins\x86-unicode and nsis_tauri_utils.dll to %LOCALAPPDATA%\tauri\NSIS\Plugins\x86-unicode.

I also encountered the same error, and my computer could not connect directly to the Internet. I tried to decompress the Wix compressed package I downloaded manually under :

%LOCALAPPDATA%\tauri\WixTools,

but the error still persisted. After querying the source code, I found that WixTools The folder name has been changed to:

WixTools314.

The relevant code is as follows:

tauri/crates/tauri-bundler/src/bundle/windows/msi/mod.rs

Line 64 in b37741d

let wix_path = tauri_tools_path.join("WixTools314");

Hope it helps those who encounter the same problem : )
