.NET 6 native host executable seems broken in two ways

[Symbai]

Description

Published a blank WPF .NET6 x64 application. Installed the x64 Desktop Runtime .NET6 on a new machine. Running this WPF application claims that this runtime is missing but its not. And there is another serious issue, if the prompt appears and ask whether to download it. If you click on YES nothing happens but it should open the .NET download page.

Reproduction Steps

Project:
WpfApp10.zip
Compiled:
net6.0-windows (1).zip
Download runtime from : https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-6.0.0-windows-x64-installer
Launch on Windows 10 64bit

Expected behavior

It should just start

Actual behavior

Regression?

Yes

Known Workarounds
