PR Summary

This pull request includes an important change to the .pipelines/templates/release-validate-sdk.yml file to improve the reliability of locating the .NET SDK on Windows systems.

Changes to improve .NET SDK path detection:

• .pipelines/templates/release-validate-sdk.yml: Added logic to check an additional possible location for the .NET SDK ($env:ProgramFiles\dotnet) on Windows systems before falling back to the existing path ($env:LocalAppData\Microsoft\dotnet). This change ensures that the script can find the .NET SDK even if it is installed in the default Program Files directory.
