    From the log it looks like the automated installation of .NET Framework 4.7.2 failed.  Since that is a prerequisite the installation of Power Automate Desktop also failed.  Try installing .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later on the server manually and then try your install again.

    Hi @AlexMetix , 

     

    I just created a windows server 2019 VM and tried to installed the PAD but it given a warning message about the .net pre requisite as servers will not be having always the latest version, I had installed the .Net latest version and it successfully installed and able to run the unattended flows with 2 login users with in the server.

     

    Let me know if you need more information

    Thank you. The problem for me is that I'm not able to install .Net Framework 4.7.2. The setup process stops with errors.

    Then you need to figure out why .Net framework 4.72 won't install.  YOu might try installing the latest version of .Net Framework instead of 4.72.  It just needs to be later than 4.72.  But until you get that installed you won't be able to install Power Automate desktop.
