Can you check the C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\tauri\WixTools folder? It should have several DLLs in there. If you delete it, we'll redownload it. I'll see if I can make some checks for it. Seems like you're missing the wix.dll file.

[mantou132]

Can't find WixTools in AppData, it is decompressed into the project directory.

[lucasfernog]

Can you delete that folder, update to tauri v1 and try again? We changed it.

[lucasfernog]

Maybe you cleared the folder in a git checkout somehow, I'll improve the check.

Update tauri-cli to 1.0.0, the problem is solved.
