Hi, thanks for the suggestion.

>4.4 still using win-setup.ps1

I tried copying that text into my 4.6.4 source tree for FetchArtifacts.cmake and still have the same behavior (hangs for about a minute then times out).

I do see a "wireshark-x64-libs-4.6" folder getting created under WIRESHARK_BASE_DIR.

And after running the cmake -G command, the <wireshark_src_dir> has a "_download" subfolder with a 0 KB size bcg729-1.0.4-win64ws.zip

Any thoughts?

Has anyone heard of other Windows 11 users having this wireshark 4.6 build problem?

Thanks,
John D.
