> A fix for [JDK-8360816](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8360816). 
> 
> The `ProgramFiles(x86)` environment variable is not properly propagated to JTReg tests in JDK11, which makes the AOT compiler tests fail on the new `windows-2025` GHA runners, as manifested in the backport of [https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8358538](JDK-8358538).  
> 
> Propagating this environment variable to JTRegs may require creating devkits for Windows 2022, but previous attempts were discarded [JDK-8283723](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8283723). 
> 
> This fix prints a warning message when this environment variable is not set, and then uses a default value (`C:\Program Files (x86)`) that makes it possible to run the AOT tests with these new `windows-2025` GHA runners.  If the `ProgramFiles(x86)` env variable is set the fix has no effect, ensuring the previous behaviour. If the proposed default value is incorrect the AOT tests will continue to fail as before.
> 
> The PR is on top of  https://github.com/openjdk/jdk11u-dev/pull/3052 to verify the fix works as intended with the new `windows-2025` GHA runners.
