The Microsoft .NET Core Runtime and Hosting Bundle 2/3/5/6 is already available in the catalog; however the Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime is a seperate package. Windows desktop applications written for .NET Core will require this runtime instead.
Note the package is listed as both the Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime and the Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime.
Version 5.x and 6.x are available, but 5.x goes EOS May 08, 2022.
The .NET Core Runtime and Hosting Bundle package ends up installing the Windows Server Hosting bundle, even when deployed to desktops, so the existing packages aren't ideal for most desktop estates.

Were there updates on whether this would be offered?
Would love to see this as well. We have a few apps that need this as a prereq and it would be great to always have the latest version pulling in via a dependency
I am running into this issue when deploying 'Hand brake' as a pre-req is
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-6.0.7-windows-x64-installer
when a user launches 'Hand Brake' for the first time, it does not load and tells them to download the .net runtime, which they obviously should not have to do
can this be added and also is there someway for it to be set as an included dependancy for 'Hand Brake' (and any other apps that need it?)
as mentioned, the current 'core' offering is not the correct one for this, the 'desktop' one is needed.
thank you
I am running into this issue too. The current .Net Core Runtime and Hosting Bundle installs server related frameworks that are not needed on desktops.
I believe we are going to provide the desktop runtime installers for initial deployment in the future, no timeframe on this yet though.
Updates for this are now provided by MS, but it would be nice if PatchMyPC provided the Desktop Runtime installers for ConfigMgr and Intune for initial deployment.
FYI: If your environment has WSUS or SCCM / Config Manager, it's deployable there too. Reference: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/net-core-updates-coming-to-microsoft-update/
+1 Please pretty please with sugar on top! :-) And ideally 3.x and 5.x also.
