Error "Destination folder path cannot exceed 100 characters." prevents install of Power BI Desktop
Hi kento/apurohit, could you try something for me? Could you try running the following command, replacing the PBIDesktop.msi with your path of the msi file. Please let me know if it solved your issue.
msiexec /i "PBIDesktop.msi" WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH="1"
Hi,
A colleague of mine is having the same problem. We tried earlier install versions on his machine and it occurs on all previous versions of PBI Desktop as well. We are currently having IT check his machine for possible conflicts. Screen shot is below.
Did you happen to find a solution?

Same error but your fix worked for me. Seems to be an issue that needs to be addressed in future updates. I would hate to have to look up this fix every time going forward.
Even downloading the updates I get this error. Is anyone listening? This needs to be fixed.
Not yet but I'll post a fix if I find one.
