Well, even at present there's no guarantee the end user has the version of .net framework and libraries you need. You might need 4.8.x stuff and they only have 4.7.x. Maybe they're on win8 and not 10, or they're behind on updates, etc.
Typically the solution for this is to either sense what's installed (and use an installer) or just ship it and let the error messages help them figure out what to do.

But it's a very bad idea to throw error messages at the user mid-install, and it hurts to bundle an entire framework installer inside yours. If you can target 4.7 and know it will exist on computers with windows 10, that's much better.
