Dear all,
lately I was building R-4.1.3 from source and
as the final step I decided to also try and build the .msi file.
I was following along the R Admin manual and using Jeroens ?r-windows/r-base?
GitHub repo as a basis.
The build, the tests all the way to the Inno-Setup Windows .exe installer
completed successfully - but not the "R-4.1.3.msi" file.
Since I am not really knowledgeable when it comes to debugging WiX failures I
was hoping someone here has some helpful comments.
Below are the logs/output/errors/file excerpts:

I can't see it mentioned in R-Admin, but if you found it there or in some documentation, please report, so that it can be removed.
