Description
### Describe the bug.
When attempting to install .NET runtime through the extension, it produces errors with messages that a manual install is required. In addition, the script provided at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-scripted-manual#scripted-install seems to install components correctly, but manually changing the path to their location does nothing (and is reverted when refreshing the window).
