ERROR_INSTALL_PREREQUISITE_FAILED

ERROR_INSTALL_PREREQUISITE_FAILED means one or more conditions required before package deployment were not satisfied. The missing prerequisite can be an operating-system capability, dependency package, trust requirement, service, policy, or platform version.

The correct action depends on the prerequisite named in the detailed deployment log.

What to check

Use Get-AppxLog to identify the specific prerequisite, package family, or version requirement.
Verify the Windows version, architecture, required frameworks, and signing/trust requirements of the package.
Install only the prerequisite identified by the log from its trusted source; do not add unrelated framework packages blindly.
