Error installing Power BI Desktop on my Windows Tablet
Hi,
Thanks for your interest, and Sorry. I tried a couple of times to attache the screen grab. I thought it's done. But this is what it says:
" There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this to install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor".
And there's a choice to click OK, after which the installation terminates.
I get the same error installing the Power BI Desktop in a Windows 10 laptop. Is there a solution to this?
Hi LufiG,
Could you try the following steps:
- Go into c:\users\"username"\AppData\Local\ (Replace username with your own user name)
- Right click on "temp" and choose "properies".
- Choose "security" --> edit --> add,
- And add the username you are using, and give yourself all rights.
Please reply the thread if the steps work.

Great stuff Sheng! Worked perfectly - even with other softwares that I was having problem installing. Although I am a non technical person, its surprising that such a problem occured since I have been given admin rights..
I tried everything but couldnt solve with the given instructions. I then typed "Cmd" in search and right click Run as administrator. Then went to the exact folder and typed the file name I wanted to run which in my case was .msi. It worked!
