Hi Armin,
Your ARM64 MSI contribution/enhancement for the jpackage will be much
appreciated.

Hello everyone,
does jpackage support building native ARM64 MSI packages? Building an
jpackage MSI on Windows ARM64, the resulting package contains x64 DLLs.
I looked further into the JDK code and apparently, the wix Command
builder (WixPipeline.java) only supports x86 or x64 (see
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/a84946dde4283fd423ef00ce3176bbe1985d7046/src/jdk.jpackage/windows/classes/jdk/jpackage/internal/WixPipeline.java#L211).
According to the wix docs, aarch64 is supported since version 4.0:
https://docs.firegiant.com/wix/tools/wixexe/#build
I already created a patched JDK locally, but maybe this can be a
contribution/enhancement for the JDK in general.
Best regards,
Armin Schrenk
