### Brief description of your issue

After having successfully installed `winget install Apple.DVDorCDSharing`, trying to run it results in an error about that `dnssd.dll` was not found, and the program thus refuses to run.

Claims online are that installing Bonjour fixes it, which it doesn't. Installing iTunes *seems* to fix it, but iTunes and DVDorCDSharing seem to be different softwares and that iTunes shouldn't be a package dependency.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Not have iTunes installed.
2. Run `winget install Apple.DVDorCDSharing` in PowerShell 7.5.3 in Windows Terminal.
3. Successfully install it.
4. Run the resulting `RemoteInstallMacOSX.exe` file.
5. See an error about that `dnssd.dll` was not found.

### Actual behavior

`RemoteInstallMacOSX.exe` completely fails to run.

### Expected behavior

`RemoteInstallMacOSX.exe` presumably runs and launches to a GUI.

Research direction

Start by reproducing `winget install Apple.DVDorCDSharing` on Windows without iTunes, then run `RemoteInstallMacOSX.exe` and verify the missing `dnssd.dll` error. Inspect the Apple.DVDorCDSharing package manifest and determine how its required runtime dependency is represented; done means the installed executable launches without requiring an unrelated manual iTunes installation.
