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).

### Please attach log file(s) here if you have any.

Please attach the log file located at /home/james/.var/app/com.visualstudio.code/config/Code/logs/20260522T203903/window1/exthost/ms-dotnettools.vscode-dotnet-runtime/DotNetAcquisition-ms-dotnettools.vscode-dotnet-runtime-1779505937306.txt. Note that this file may contain personal data.
