Describe the improvement

Pretty straightforward, the installer should perform a check if the necessary runtimes are already installed. I don't know if that's possible for the Windows App Runtime, but when it comes to the .NET runtime(s), the Nuget package here adds an interesting way of distributing software as a bootstrapped deployment. The README summarizes pretty well how that sort of deployment works and what the benefits are.

Describe how this improvement could help users.

There would be no duplicate installations of runtimes
