Hello,
I'm unable to install Power BI Server. I'm getting this error in the Application Event logs. Any ideas on what needs to be changed / updated?
Thanks,

Hi,
according to the error, you could check if your environment meet the requirements listed in this article: Hardware and software requirements for installing Power BI Report Server. As it's stated, .NET Framework version 4.6 is required, please update it to this version.
Best,
Kathrin
