Error upon installing the BI Desktop Tool

Dear Team,

 

I have recently downloaded the Microsoft Power BI Desktop tool of 64 bit. I have installed it on to my machine. After installation, when i am trying to launch the application, the following error is coming.

 

Error Message:

Resolution of the dependency failed, type = "Microsoft.PowerBI.Client.Windows.DiagramView.IDiagramViewManager", name = "(none)".
Exception occurred while: while resolving.
Exception is: TypeInitializationException - The type initializer for '<Module>' threw an exception.
-----------------------------------------------
At the time of the exception, the container was:

Resolving Microsoft.DiagramView.Diagram.DiagramViewManager,(none) (mapped from Microsoft.PowerBI.Client.Windows.DiagramView.IDiagramViewManager, (none))
Resolving parameter "diagramControl" of constructor Microsoft.DiagramView.Diagram.DiagramViewManager(Microsoft.DiagramView.Diagram.Visual.DiagramDisplay diagramControl)

I'm having the same error on one of my business clients' computer when I start power BI Desktop after installation. Any Ideas from anyone here will be very helpful.

 

Thanks

Check this link TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for '<Module>' threw an exception  in stackoverflow. Try to re-install .NET framework on that specific machine, .NET Framework 4.5 is required as per the Minimum requirements.
