I think those properties are set via an MSI custom action but it looks like
you're building a burn bundle. That might explain why nothing happens.
To try to keep concepts separate, burn bundles use <Variable/> not
<Property/>.
I suspect you'll need to update your BA to set similar variables yourself.
For a native BA you'll likely need to use CreateWellKnownSid
and LookupAccountSidW.
I'm not sure if there is an existing managed API to get these if you are
using a managed BA.
