just checked and the .net packages require no security proof for windows authenticity. this would follow suit as most computers needing it for development most likely would not have a inet connection. there are also redistributable packages so my guess is that runuo could either add a link or host their own distribution if they so desired.
as to updating messing up computers. as i had stated earlier in this thread back in the days of early versions of windows(circa1994-1998), yes this may have been true. Microsoft has since cured a lot of these issues and they no longer exist in current systems. on my personal home network of 4 computers Ive never had a single issue with upgrading windows.only issues i have ever had recently were with video card drivers, sound card drivers, and printer drivers but those were not issues with windows or its update system they were third party provider issues.
as to my comment of burning in hades lol no I'm not a Microsoft fanboi i use their product due to convenience. Also the development of window applications really should be done on a like system due to testing. I am a registered user of visual studio and several other Microsoft products. I also use a free BSD as a secondary OS due to the need to develop applications in UNIX. *shrugs* while i can see a slight need for a download of .net for runuo tbh its just as easy to do a search and download from the source.
