This extension requires .NET Core for full functionality, but we were unable to download and install a local copy for the extension.

Does this occur consistently? Yes Repro steps:

1. Open code and the following occurs
2. I have runtime 2.2.5 installed and extension does not find it.
3. I copy the dotnet 2.2.5 files from the system installed folder into the extensions folder and it deletes them.

@leparduk Generally the error “Could not find/download” generally means that you were offline or it couldn’t reach the dotnet website. Could you try again when you know you’re online? Thanks!

See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azurearmtools/wiki/Troubleshooting-DotNet-Acquisition#could-not-finddownload-net-core-runtime-with-version--225 for more info.
