Whiule installing appveyor deployment agent I got error message that I might not be running installation as administrator. But the problem was in fact that .net Framework 4.5.1. was not installed on VM.

Could you please make the msi installer give a better message in this situation ?

I was trying to install it under Windows Server 2012 Datacenter.

    Thanks for the catch - we should definitely add this check into the installer!
