Description

Since the .NET team is not willing to bundle .NET runtime to Windows OS (for good reason), I think it is a duty for the team to do better than a English only prompt when user have no .NET runtime installed yet.

I think at least a localized prompt should be provided as many user doesn't reads English.

I also think the installation of runtime should be one-click and silent. Currently the prompt opens a browser and the user need to manually install and click Next, which will make many non-dev user 'disgusted' (confused) and think the software is 'broken'.

Why not bundle the runtime in the distribution? Size!
