Automatically install required .NET Desktop Runtime 7.0.9

[AaronFeledy]

After updating to v0.8 On Windows 11, I was prompted to update my .NET Desktop Runtime to 7.0.9 or later. The prompt included a button to update, but that didn't seem to do anything but close the window. Running winget install Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.7 made easy work of silently downloading and installing the runtime. Perhaps the installer could do this automatically.

Looks like you can also build the dependencies into the exe so the runtime is not needed: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/single-file/overview

Single files are freaking huge.... (atleast 120MB on disk), .NET Desktop Runtime has better advantages especially since powertoys and others depend and install it

I will look into a small v0.8.1 release to include this. I already found a way to do this. Just that I couldn't spare enough time on working on it.

I keep on getting this message on the 0.8 version: even though I have it installed..... Can't get the app to run.

@rp1231 Weird that getting the same in 2 of 4 systems I have tested now, not sure whats the pattern. I will try rebuild and update the release once again. Thanks for notifying.
