Using Github CI Pipeline with wxWidgets - wxwidgets

Question

I got a cross platform application using a wxWidgets gui and want to test the cross build with github ci pipeline.
The Linux test runs fine as i'm able to install the wxWidgets dependencies using apt-get.
But i got no idea how to setup the wxWidgets Windows dependencies. Google didn't help me either.
any suggestions what command i need to put into my yml-file?
thanks!
edit: what i've tried so far...
- name: install wxwidgets
shell: powershell
run: |
choco install wxwidgets
but this is the same like cloning the git version, only with an older version
and
run: |
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
vcpkg integrate install
vcpkg install wxwidgets
the pipeline keeps hanging while installing vcpkg

You should be able to install wxWidgets using vcpkg, of course, but you can also just download the official binaries and use them instead, e.g. like this:
build-cpp-windows-2019:
name: C++/MSVS (windows-2019)
runs-on: windows-2019
env:
wxMSW_VER: 3.1.3
WXWIN: c:\wx
steps:
[...]
- name: Install wxWidgets
run: |
mkdir ${env:WXWIN} | Out-Null
cd ${env:WXWIN}
curl -OL https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v${env:wxMSW_VER}/wxWidgets-${env:wxMSW_VER}-headers.7z
7z x wxWidgets-${env:wxMSW_VER}-headers.7z
curl -OL https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v${env:wxMSW_VER}/wxMSW-${env:wxMSW_VER}_vc14x_x64_Dev.7z
7z x wxMSW-${env:wxMSW_VER}_vc14x_x64_Dev.7z
