(continued)

I did discover that the file "bcg729-1.0.4-win64ws.zip" actually did download, but it went into the Wireshark source directory under a "_download" subdirectory instead of in the specified WIRESHARK_BASE_DIR folder.

Under Wireshark 4.4, I was able to set WIRESHARK_LIB_DIR to C:\Wireshark-win64-libs-4.4 and all the downloads from the remote site went into this folder.

Under Wireshark 4.6, I'm trying to set WIRESHARK_BASE_DIR to C:\Wireshark-win64-libs-4.6, but running the cmake put the first download "bcg729-1.0.4-win64ws.zip" into the Wireshark-4.6 source folder under "<wireshark_src_dir>/_download" instead of the expected C:\Wireshark-win64-libs-4.6 and then the build script gets hung and times out.

I tried synchronizing the folders to the ones specified in the Wireshark Developer's Guide and put wsbuild64, "wireshark" source dir, and wireshark-third-party for the libs folder under the C:\Development folder and same problem.

Not sure if I should submit a ticket or bug.  This is under the 4.6.4 version with "git checkout 93282876538d" for Windows 11.

Thanks,
