I'd like wingetcreate to be able to detect Advanced Installer generated/built installers.
Note:
There are .exe and .msi variations.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing installer-detection entry points in wingetcreate and compare how .exe and .msi installers are handled. Review the two related issues for expected Advanced Installer behavior, then identify the relevant tests; done means both installer variations are detected correctly with regression coverage.
