Fix is to enable the .NET Framework 3.5 yourself through Control Panel. See this [Microsoft help page](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/dotnet-35-windows).aspx#ControlPanel) for detailed information. Even if this step fails, this does not affect the functionality of OpenMS, except for the executability of included third party tools (ProteoWizard).

The liquid solution containing the analytes is pumped through a column that is attached to the stationary phase. Analytes are separated based on how strongly they interact with each phase. Some analytes will interact strongly with the mobile phase while others will be strongly attracted to the stationary phase, depending on their physical or chemical properties. The stronger an analyte's attraction is to the mobile phase, the faster it will leave the column. The time it takes for an analyte to escape from the column is called the analyte's {term}`retention time`. As a result of their differing attractions to the mobile and stationary phases, different analytes will have different retention times, which is how separation occurs.
