Cannot upgrade Report Server in developer mode

Anonymous — Thu, 08 Jul 2021 14:56:45 GMT

I have a Report Server (on-premises) in Developer mode. I downloaded today the latest update from here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56722

But when trying to apply the update, the "Next" button is disabled. I tried to repair the installation, same issue...

What version of PBIRS do you have installed at the moment?

The "upgrade edition" option is only used when you want to upgrade from the developer or evaluation edition to the enterprise edition.

The fact that you can only see the Upgrade Edition/Repair/uninstall options usually means you have run the installer for the version that is already installed.

Hi Anonymous ,

I can reproduce your issue when I download the "PowerBIReportServer.exe" from the link you provide to upgrade my PBIRS, Version: 1.11.7815.26414 (Build 15.0.1106.169), Released: May 27, 2021.

This is caused by that the Power BI Report Server May 2021 released on May 27, 2021 is the same version as the one released on Jul 7, 2021. There are no differences. Only Power BI Desktop (optimized for Power BI Report Server) has some changes.

Power BI Desktop (optimized for Power BI Report Server)

Version: 2.93.1681.0 (May 2021), Released: July 6, 2021

Contains fix for Google Auth: Google Auth is moved to System Browser (non embedded) to allow users to log into Google Analytics and Google Big Query.

Version: 2.93.982.0 (May 2021), Released: May 27, 2021

Contains changes required for connection with Power BI Report Server (May 2021).

"Models with enhanced metadata" is now the only option for modeling in Power BI Desktop for RS.

Bug fixes

Reference: Change log for Power BI Report Server - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Therefore, there is no issue there.😊
