Since the root exception says that the directory name is invalid I think it is more likely a regression from eclipse-cbi/jiro#379 since the paths are now a little bit longer.

I'll investigate it in more detail tomorrow.

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-17.0.5.8-hotspot\bin\javaw.exe" (in directory "C:\Users\genie.releng\releng\workspace\AutomatedTests\ep433I-unit-win32-java17\workarea\I20240710-0530\eclipse-testing\test-eclipse\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.junit.runtime.tests_3.7.300.v20240519-1449\test-bundles\verification.tests.junit4.platform.fragment"): CreateProcess error=267, The directory name is invalid

This path has 264 characters and is therefore longer than the 260 characters permitted by default on Windows.
I have now created an issue to ask the Infra-team to disable that limit, which I think is the most sustainable and also the simplest solution:
