Right now we ship all the required .NET framework files with BBL. That's responsible for about 95% of the download and installation size of BBL. If a user already has the right version of .NET (not unlikely given that many other MSFS tools use .NET) it's a bit of a waste of time.
Also, pre-installing .NET as part of bootstrapping an installer (see #41) would mean we could use a .NET DLL during the installation process, which would make exe.xml-corruption fixing and the like much easier.
