@Dtstraten,

I am unable to reproduce your issue. Do you get issues when installing power bi desktop in other computer?

I have another laptop and with that one I don't get any issues,. So I don't know what the issue is unfortunately.

I can import custom visual to the November update of Power BI Desktop by selecting “Import from Store” or “Import from file”.
