To fix, check the system environment variables. Make sure they are apt. There should a `TMP` and a `TEMP` variable,
45

and both should contain one directory only, which exists and is writable. Fix accordingly (search the internet on

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).
