Package Name

xivlauncher

Expected/Current Behaviour

When trying to install/update XIVLauncher, an error is throw and the install fails.

Steps to Reproduce

PS C:\Users\vaartis> scoop install xivlauncher
Installing 'xivlauncher' (7.0.20) [64bit] from 'games' bucket
Loading XIVLauncher-7.0.20-full.nupkg from cache
Checking hash of XIVLauncher-7.0.20-full.nupkg ... ok.
Extracting XIVLauncher-7.0.20-full.nupkg ... Exception: C:\Users\vaartis\scoop\apps\scoop\current\lib\core.ps1:824

     |          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     | Could not find 'net45'! (error 16)

Possible Solution

I have no idea what this error means. .net 4.5 comes with windows 10 nowadays so it's probably not that it's not installed.
