Cannot boot the game because it says I don't have .NET Runtime, despite having it. #7491

Describe the bug

I've recently received my copy of the game and I cannot get past the popup which is titled "You must install .NET Desktop Runtime to run this application".

Despite this popup, I have already installed both .NET 9.0.0 and 9.0.1, and any method I've tried has never succeeded, including uninstalling and reinstalling the game, restarting windows (I've had this issue for months), modifying my PATH, installing through the _redist folder, installing the runtime from the link directly given to me from the popup, switching the game folder from my F: drive to C:, etc.

There doesn't seem to be anyone talking about this online from anywhere I've searched, and I feel like I'm the only one with this problem. I just have no idea how to fix it anymore.
