Go to the control panel on your PC and single-click the search bar in its window.
Type ‘Windows Features’ and use the results to open the Turn Windows Features on or off window.
Navigate to the .NET Framework settings by scrolling down the list.
In case the .NET Framework 4.5 checkbox is unmarked, mark it with a single click and save the settings, and if the .NET Framework 4.5 checkbox is marked, click it to unmark and close the window after saving the changes.
Find the NET Framework SP1 3.5 checkbox and follow the similar procedure you used with .NET Framework 4.5.
Restart your system after you make changes in the .NET framework settings and install QBDT again when the system starts.
