provisioner "powershell" {
   inline = ["New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path 'c:/Java'",
    "[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12",
     "Invoke-RestMethod -uri 'https://download.oracle.com/java/21/latest/jdk-21_windows-x64_bin.msi' -OutFile 'c:/Java/jdk-21_windows-x64_bin.msi'",
     "Start-Process -FilePath 'msiexec.exe' -ArgumentList '/I c:\\Java\\jdk-21_windows-x64_bin.msi /quiet'",
    "[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('JAVA_HOME','C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-21/bin','Machine')",
     "Write-Host $Env:JAVA_HOME 'has been added to the environmental variable JAVA_HOME'" 
   ]
}

It doesn't seem to have an error. Is Java missing when you deploy the image?

Update your code to this, and it should work.

provisioner "powershell" {
    inline = ["New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path 'c:/Java'",
      "[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12",
      "Invoke-RestMethod -uri 'https://download.oracle.com/java/21/latest/jdk-21_windows-x64_bin.msi' -OutFile 'c:/Java/jdk-21_windows-x64_bin.msi'",
      "Start-Process msiexec.exe -Wait -ArgumentList '/I c:\\Java\\jdk-21_windows-x64_bin.msi /quiet'",
      "[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('JAVA_HOME','C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-21/bin','Machine')",
      "Write-Host $Env:JAVA_HOME 'has been added to the environmental variable JAVA_HOME'" 
    ]
  }
