Download failed and make sure you are running as administrator and that your machine is connected to Internet?
And when the user selects "Download from the web," the prerequisite install will fail with the following error:
"The files for installation requirement Microsoft .Net 4.7.2 Redistributable package could not be found. The installation will now stop. This is properly due to failed or cancelled download"
