Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Although i haven't experienced it myself, it seems to happen often that a user is not able download all nugets properly.
Describe the solution you'd like
Provide all xenko packages as one file and (optionally) download that directly. Like a plan b that can be triggered via a button by the user, if nuget.org fails.
The file could contain all nugets and could be extracted into the nuget cache, so it has the same behavior.
Prerequisites still need to be installed, of course.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Not sure, probably try to re-install xenko via launcher normally.
Also, maybe the launcher could have a 'clean' button to do a fresh install. Similar to the Nvidia drivers that can do a clean re-install.
Additional context
Easy installation for newcomers/non developers.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the launcher’s existing installation flow and how Xenko packages are downloaded from NuGet. Define how an optional single archive, extraction into the NuGet cache, and a clean-install action should work, including the prerequisite boundary; the feature is done when a newcomer can recover from package-download failures through the launcher.
