Problem with running WiX through a Continuous Integration Build System.

It works perfectly fine logging into the Windows desktop with remote
desktop, open my Cygwin console and execute Gradle. Our Jenkins CI runs
into a problem at the end when WiX is running validation on the built
installer.

> WiX v3, Light automatically runs validation-- Windows Installer Internal
Consistency Evaluators (ICEs) --after every successful build.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1064580/wix-3-0-throws-error-217-while-being-executed-by-continuous-integration

Some has suggested to disable the validation, but that is not a good
solution in my opinion.
A workaround I attempted which works without meddling with the WiX
configuration, was to change the build user Jenkins uses to log onto the
Windows build agent. I changed its user type from Standard to
Administrator. Not sure why it would work, as I had run the jpackage+wix
using the same standard user through remote desktop. Perhaps some
permissions it didn't get while running in a headless environment.
