Hi,

While reinstalling PowerBI May 2020 we are getting the below error in the event log. Can anybody help?

Product: Microsoft Power BI Report Server -- Something went wrong, please find details in setup logs.CallStack: Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: XmlException - at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseDocumentContent() at System.Xml.XmlLoader.Load(XmlDocument doc, XmlReader reader, Boolean preserveWhitespace) at System.Xml.XmlDocument.Load(XmlReader reader) at System.Xml.XmlDocument.Load(String filename) at Microsoft.BIServer.Setup.MigrateSettingsStep.MigrateMachineKeyFromWebToRsConfig() at SetupEngine.Install() at SetupEngine.Execute() at Microsoft.BIServer.Setup.Setup.Main(String cmdLine) at Microsoft.BIServer.Setup.Setup.Main(String cmdLine)

Regards,

Amiya

From the error it appears there is possibly a bad XML file somewhere. Is this a new install or an upgrade? I see you say "reinstall".

Try uninstall the current version, and it is recommend to always use the newest 2021 Jan version.
