Overview
This PR adds prominent IMPORTANT callouts to inform users that administrative privileges are required when installing .NET system-wide on Windows.
Changes
The article previously only mentioned administrative requirements in the WinGet section as plain text, but this applies to all system-wide installation methods. This PR makes the requirement more visible and consistent across all applicable installation methods.
Sections Updated:
Introduction Section - Added IMPORTANT note after the default installation directory explanation to provide early visibility of the administrative privilege requirement
Install with Visual Studio Code - Added IMPORTANT note after the first paragraph, since the WinGet configuration file performs system-wide installation
.NET Installer - Added IMPORTANT note after the first paragraph, as this method explicitly performs system-wide installations
Install with Windows Package Manager (WinGet) - Converted the existing sentence into a proper IMPORTANT note block for better visibility
Format Used:
Sections Excluded:
The changes ensure users are clearly informed about administrative privilege requirements before attempting system-wide installations, improving the documentation's clarity and reducing potential installation issues.
