❔ How to show users a message if missing NET Core Runtime?
My mostly-console application requires .NET 7. Unfortunately, when users don't have it, it just silently exits and they don't get the opportunity to read a helpful error message, if it even exists. Can I somehow change this and show a meaningful error popup if users are missing prerequisites?

I've seen other applications which are able to spit out a generic "you're missing the framework" message
Yeah, users use it from the explorer
Specifically they drag files into the exe
And then say the tool is broken, it causes a lot of tech support strain
It's a Windows tool, net7.0-windows
