The Application Server needs .NET Framework 4.7.2 and Internet Information Services installed first.
Either disable User Account Control before installing ABBYY FlexiCapture, or perform every setup action from the built-in administrator account.

Install .NET Framework and IIS

Install both from the Control Panel. For step-by-step instructions and installation options, see installing server roles and features in the Microsoft documentation. To check which Microsoft .NET Framework versions and updates are already installed, see the Microsoft documentation.
