Install .NET runtime and avoid 0x80070666 another version of this product is already installed, return code 0x666

I'm installing a .NET 6 desktop application. As part of the installer I install the .NET 6.0.10 desktop runtime, using WiX:

<ExePackage
  SourceFile="$(var.ProjectDir)\ThirdParty\windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.10-win-x64.exe"
  InstallCommand="/q /ACTION=Install"
  RepairCommand="/q ACTION=Repair /hideconsole"
  UninstallCommand="/q ACTION=Uninstall /hideconsole" />

This works fine if there is no pre-existing 6.0.x version of the runtime installed. It also works fine if 6.0.10 is already installed. However if there is a different 6.0.x version installed, the installer fails:

Error 0x80070666: Process returned error: 0x666

With a message in the UI "another version of this product is already installed".

Does anyone know of a simple way in WiX I can upgrade earlier versions or skip the package if a later version is already installed?

This owes a lot to Vivek's answer, but that had problems - the registry key mentioned there is overwritten by the last version of .NET you installed, and couldn't handle having multiple (6.0, 7.0, etc) frameworks installed.

The solution I've ended with has hardcoded searches for future versions of 6.0.x, which isn't ideal, but is the best I've come up with.

<!-- We won't attempt to install .NET 6.0.x (x64) if any of these versions are already present
     If there's ever a 6.0.21 or higher we'll have to extend this list -->

You need to use DetectCondition attribute.

<Variable Name="NetCore6Version" Type="numeric" Value="1.0.0" />
<Variable Name="MinNetCore6Version" Type="numeric" Value="6.0.10" />
<util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\dotnet\Setup\InstalledVersions\x64\sharedhost" Value="Version" 
 Variable="NetCore6Version" /> 

<ExePackage
  SourceFile="$(var.ProjectDir)\ThirdParty\windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.10-win-x64.exe"
  InstallCommand="/q /ACTION=Install"
  RepairCommand="/q ACTION=Repair /hideconsole"
  UninstallCommand="/q ACTION=Uninstall /hideconsole"
  DetectCondition="NetCore6Version &lt;=MinNetCore6Version"
  InstallCondition="NetCore6Version &gt;MinNetCore6Version" />
