Cannot connect to Analysis database

I am trialing out BI desktop and report server. I have installed sql server, bi report server on Windows server 2016.  On the samemachine I have also installed Power BI Desktop (March 2018).  When I try to connect an Analyis Service I get the following error.

 

DIME protocol error: The '9' DIME version is not supported. Only version one is supported. 

 

I have attached the screen shot. Report server is running and I am able to access the web portal. No SSL has been installed.

I am having the same exact issue. Anyone find a fix for this? @pundip

@pundip  haven't a clue, but if you try to connect by importing will it let you just out of curiosity rather than connecting live?

@pundip can you connect to the cube via excel?
