tauri: [bug] Error in generating wix installer on Windows

I’ve used the tauri-apps/tauri-action@v0 to automatically build the installer, but I get this error:

Pushed a fix if you want to test it. Run cargo install --git https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri --branch fix/wix-clear-env tauri-cli --force and then add the tauriScript input to the tauri-action usage:

- uses: tauri-apps/tauri-action@v0
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      with:
        tauriScript: cargo tauri

EDIT: gotta fix an issue first 😦 EDIT2: Done.

Can you run it with the verbose flag enabled, like yarn tauri build --verbose -> in the action you can specify --verbose in the args property.
