Which specific issue do you refer to as "this"?
Currently, the installer for Windows must:
1. Properly detect all OSes that LO *cannot* be installed to - on these OSes,
you are *not* expected to "just install" this version of LO, and properly
informing and exiting is all that *should be* done;
2. Properly install the redist on the OSes where it *is* applicable.
In the next version (6.1), the installer will also install the required
components without additional interaction (no additional
authentication/authorization), much like before 6.0 (though the inner machinery
is different), to improve installation experience.
A broken OS is a special case for any software. An OS without a required
component (as in SpongeBob's case) is unsupported (1) case. Inability to
install any component on an OS is *not* a problem LibreOffice installer should
deal with.
