I mean even for something like .NET, apps install the version of the runtime they need in a shared space, so that they can be used by everyone desiring that specific version.
Ooh! Just unlocked a memory of a computer I was setting up and one piece of software assumed its version of .NET would be present and just failed install every time because it wasn't. I ended up just installing it later once I had other stuff installed
