Tried to install v1.4 on my Windows 7 machine - demanded Net v5, duly installed but still persisted in asking me to install net v5
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.4

Windows 7 Professional with all updates applied
HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log) Unable to provide as I couldn't install in the first place - this was to be a fresh and new install.
Please replace this text with the contents of your log file between the two code tags - OR - provide a pastebin URL in place of these 3 lines.
If you are unable to do so, please state why so we can help you.
There is a github ticket about this - you have to install the "right type" of .NET 5, the DESKTOP runtime, but Microsoft links to the non-desktop version.
Why there are different ones, you would need to ask Microsoft...
