Our API was designed to find existing installs on the PATH, DOTNET_ROOT, VS Code settings, and or other places like in the registry / host install location.
However, it did not find the private runtimes that we had installed. This causes some extra work to be done when we could have re-use the existing installation according to what the API consumer wants, (they should specify a later version if using the findPath API.) Now consumers won't have to recall our acquire API for it to recognize it already installed something.
