As Anonymous said; the June 2017 release is the current generally-available (GA) release for production use, while the August 2017 Preview is a preview/beta of our work in progress toward our next GA release, targeting Q4 CY 2017.

Thanks for the information. What is the product version of the current GA product? I have installed what I thought to be the GA version (14.0.600.301). But this version won't let me upload any report.

I get this error "We can't open this Power BI report because it contains an unsupported data source connection or embedded data. This version of Power BI Report Server supports Power BI reports that connect live to SQL Server Analysis Services Or Azure Analasis services"

    That is indeed the June 2017 (GA) version. That version supports connections to Analysis Services only. Support for data imported from other data sources is a work in progress in our August 2017 Preview.

      I get this error message for any report even reports with no data, only a text box.

       

      this is the error in the logs:

        Power BI reports default to using embedded models when a live connection is not specified. In your case, with just a TextBox in your report and no data, Desktop assumed (incorrectly) that the report has an embedded model and so you are not able to upload. In either case, in the August Preview of Power BI Report Server we have added support for embedded models and after installing that build, you will be able to upload your report with text box.

         

        https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/report-server/ (the Preview download link is towards bottom of page).

         

        Hope this helps,

        Rohit
