Error generating an asymmetric key. Exception message: Keyset as registered is invalid.

smacsween — Wed, 17 Mar 2021 08:47:01 GMT

I've tried lots of the solutions posted elsewhere - like deleting/renaming the RSA and Keys folders, using a different email address etc. But I am still stumped by this error when trying to create Personal Gateway.

Does anybody know how to fix it?

Thanks!

Hi smacsween ,

I still could not reproduce your problem until now...It may be related to the environment, account number and many other factors.

Maybe you could go to https://support.powerbi.com ,scroll down and click "CREATE SUPPORT TICKET" for further help.

Best Regards,

Yuna

No. I just gave up 😊. Even MS tech support was unable to resolve this one.
