Snagit 13 requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 or later. The Snagit installer automatically downloads and installs the framework. The Snagit installation fails if an error occurs during the process. To fix this issue, manually install the framework.

Solution: Manually Install Microsoft .NET Framework available here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework
