We get this issue using the October 2017 versions of Desktop and Report Server. However, only using IE 11; in Chrome we do not encounter this issue.

 

I looked at the PBIDesktop.exe command being generated by both IE and Chrome, and it looks like for the argument to PBIDesktop.exe, Chrome encodes spaces ("%20"), but IE doesn't. So when the command is run from IE and either the report or report folder has a space in it, the argument provided to PBIDesktop.exe is incorrect, hence the syntax error. I tested on reports without spaces in IE and it works fine.
