How to Solve Failed to install Dependencies ?

In some cases, this occurs since the dependencies are already installed on your pc. So check wheather the program is installed from start menu. if the program is still not installed, then there are 2 ways to solve this. [only try the 2nd method if 1st method failed]
1. Enable Ignore Version (Options --> Advanced --> Dependencies --> Ignore Version), this will download all version of dependencies available for your system
2. Enable Ignore All Filters (Options --> Advanced --> Dependencies --> Ignore All Filters), this will download all available dependencies (can take time)
