Please follow these steps :

1.Power BI may depend on a specific version of the .NET Framework. Please ensure that you have the required version installed. You may need to consult the Power BI documentation to find the required version.

2.If something went wrong during the installation, simply uninstalling and then reinstalling Power BI may fix the issue.

3. Sometimes, administrative privileges are required for certain operations. Try running the installer or Power BI itself as an administrator by right-clicking the executable and selecting "Run as administrator."

4. Make sure that your Windows 10 OS is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as there may be a fix that resolves this issue.

5. This error might be related to a corrupted .NET Framework installation. You can try repairing it through the Windows Control Panel or reinstalling the required version.

6. Sometimes, security software might block certain operations that Power BI requires. Try disabling your antivirus or firewall temporarily to see if that's causing the issue.

7. Power BI might generate logs that contain more detailed information about the error. Check the logs for more clues on what might be causing the issue.

8. If all else fails, you might want to try using a different version of Power BI. It's possible that the version you're trying to install has a specific bug or compatibility issue with your system configuration.

If none of the above solutions resolve the issue, you may want to contact Microsoft Support.
