- The Desktop integration-test setup still installs Windows App Runtime
1.8.260508005(.ado/jobs/desktop-single.yml:39-50), even though its own comment requires this value to matchWinUI3Version. Builds now target 2.4.0, so framework-dependent test apps may fail to launch or continue testing against the wrong installed runtime. Update the installer URL and output filename to the 2.4.0 x64 runtime as part of this upgrade.
…talA (experimental) Also removes a stale ARM64EC override in vnext/Directory.Build.targets that forced Ixp-Platform=win10-x64 for Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.InteractiveExperiences. Older versions of that package shipped native libs under win10-<arch> folders, but the version pulled in transitively by this upgrade (2.1.6) now ships plain <arch> folders (x64/arm64/arm64ec/x86), including a genuine arm64ec folder. The stale override caused LNK1181 failures when linking Desktop.DLL for ARM64EC/Release in CI. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

- The Desktop CI setup still installs Windows App Runtime
1.8.260508005in.ado/jobs/desktop-single.yml:39-50, whose comment requires it to match this property. Projects now target 2.4.0 and disable SDK auto-initialization below, so clean test agents can fail to launch the Desktop unit/integration binaries without the 2.4 runtime. Update that installer step to the corresponding 2.4 runtime as part of this upgrade.

- The desktop CI template still installs Windows App SDK runtime 1.8.260508005 (
.ado/jobs/desktop-single.yml:39-50), even though its comment requires this value to matchWinUI3Version. Desktop tests now build against 2.4.0 and are not configured as self-contained, so they can fail to load the required runtime on a clean agent. Update that installer URL to the matching 2.4.0 x64 runtime as part of this version bump.
