MultiCharts requires .NET Framework 3.5, 4.0 and 4.6.1 for correct operation. If they cannot be installed automatically, you’ll get the above message.
In that case, you’ll need to install/enable them manually: Windows Start > Settings > Apps > Programs and Features > Turn windows features on or off > check .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.6.1 (or newer)
If you're running MultiCharts on a server: Server Manager -> Manage -> Add Roles and Features -> in Installation Type tab select "Role-based or feature-based installation" -> Features -> check .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.6.1 (or newer)
