Additional context
.NET Desktop Runtime is properly installed and reachable. The command dotnet --list-runtimes gives the output:

Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 7.0.7 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 6.0.26 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]
