Vortex not recognizing that I have .net installed

[Evilbookworm]

Pretty much exactly what the title says.  Trying to install some mods and I haven't used Vortex in a year or two.  Downloaded the mods fine (Fallout 4 if it matters) and get a .net error.  Okay, so I download .net.  Still getting the error.  I've restarted my PC and vortex and downloaded several different ones just to be safe, no go.  Here is my cmd prompt to verify that I do have .net.  I get the usual "you must install .net runtime to install this application" error.  Of note- I did change the download folder, if that makes a difference.  There's nothing in the new folder I designated, but the mods still show up.

You need .net 6

Not higher than 6.  6 specifically.

The "common solutions" thread will have a direct link.

I just downloaded this one from the link in the 'common solutions' thread.  Installed it.  Same error, including after I restarted Vortex.  

 

What is .NET 6?

.NET 6 is framework created by Microsoft which provides applications with libraries it can usee to interact with the operating system. Learn more...

How can I download .NET?

If Vortex is unable to download and install the .NET, it can be fetched manually from the link below.

https://aka.ms/dotnet/6.0/windowsdesktop-runtime-win-x64.exe

You can also select the latest "Desktop Runtime" from this page.

Of note- removing 'sandboxing' on Vortex did fix the issue, so it's a permissions thing.  I tried the command line fixes suggested in the other thread but it didn't work.
