Description
jdk25u has been updated to [support WIX v4 & v5](https://github.com/adoptium/jdk25u/commit/ba67ad63ae7d7d399e41ab258576123fb6d9502c), but not v6 yet. Adoptium Windows test machines use WIX v6.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the listed tools/jpackage Windows and shared test classes and the linked jdk25u commit that added WIX v4 and v5 support. Run the affected tests on a Windows machine using WIX v6, then confirm that all listed failures pass with WIX v6 while retaining v4 and v5 support.
