Hi all,
I have PBI Desktop download link bookmarked (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494), which lists "version 2.78.5740.721, date published 02/18/2020", however... version downloaded is 2.76.5678.782 (December 2019).
I've been reluctant to install February 2020 gateway after hearing of connection problems and was going to wait until desktop was in sync.
Anyone else have this issue or a new/different download link?
TIA, Danny
I have an issue with this update too:
Can't open any of the reports I've created in earlier versions of PBI Desktop (Dec 2019), error message says: "We weren't able to restore the saved database to the model". Reinstalling didn't help.
I have the same issue if trying to open any of my Power BI files: "We weren't able to restore the saved database to the model".
Version: 2.78.5740.721 64-bit (February 2020)
I have exactly the same issue after this update, I cannot open any reports, even after creating a new (blank) report and saving it, I'm unable to reopen it. I get the error: "We weren't able to restore the saved database to the model"
what i've tried so far:
- repair
- reset
- reinstall
- uninstall and install from windows store instead of desktop version msi file
- uninstall, manually remove user Appdata folders related to powerbi + remove any keys related to powerbi from registry, reinstall
Nothing has worked so I'm eagerly waiting for any solutions!
If possible, can somebody share the december version installer?

I haven't found an official source so I uploaded my December installer to WeTransfer:

I have the same issue
Just wanted to confirm the statement from Anonymous is true, I got 2 downloads for 2 different regions and they are different. First download (work region) was only asking for repair (since its the same version which is Dec 2019), and tried it on my local region and its updated to Feb 2020.

*PBIDesktopSetup_x64_1 = Dec 2019
I downloaded the last version (tried 2 different languages) on the official site and only got the repair option. Issue seems not to be fixed.
Same issue here, the download is not updated yet. It is still downloading a 279MB file (while the download options say it's 292MB).
Kim Manis (Power BI Product Team) confirms that the download may take a while to be propagated to all locations:
Still eagerly waiting for the February update! 😀
My desktop version was updated several hours ago automatically from Microsoft Store. From "About" section of Power BI Desktop: Version: 2.78.5740.721 64-bit (February 2020).
Interesting that there is no official word about this release. Also I am facing lots of errors during loading my old DQ reports. The error messages say "Something went wrong" and pop up many times. Where can I find December 2019 version because I can't work like this.
It has been my observation that release highlights tend to lag quite a few hours behind the actual update.
Leonid_Kostin ,I have the December 2019 msi installer... let me know if/how you'd like me to share.
Danny
musicbydannydmany thanks for your comment!
If possible, could you please upload it somewhere for some time? I will download it as soon as possible and reinstall on my local PC.
Link is now working correctly... I was able to download Feb 2020 64bit version at 6:00 AM EST. I have yet to open any files as I was going to install February gateway first.
I'll post here if I encounter any errors.
Good luck,
Danny
Hi Danny,
can you please tell me where did you download the Feb 2020 64bit version at 6:00 AM EST from ?
I checked download center, downloaded the PBIDesktopSetup_x64.exe 20 minutes ago, uninstalled power BI desktop, re-installed it, but still the same error: "We weren't able to restore the saved database to the model".
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Bart
BartVerhoeven, here's the link I used for msi installers (both 32 & 64 bit): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494
Good luck!
Danny
I'm glad I'm not alone in this. I hate the fact that some of us have to download it this way and have to see all the excitement from others who have the downloaded it.
mhammo & BartVerhoeven. try holding down shift key while refreshing browser.
If someone going to fix an issue?
Thanks to my friend who has a december version, but on my win10 pb was installed from store and updated automatically.
And it's not working.
Have you tested before release? A little bit angry.
This was posted in comments of Feature Summary Page (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-february-2020-feature-summary/), which includes link to download December 2019 installer:
Thanks this SAVED me!!
is this the version that we should have in order to continue
to our NORMAL lives: Version: 2.78.5740.841 as of February 21st?

Turns out it's a known issue stated on https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/ ,I guess we'll get a fix soon.
Meanwhile we can use the December version, I'd suggest you to install it separately from your Windows Store version and work there.
Did I just get lucky and got a working one?
I downloaded this one on Feb/18 and this is working fine in my most complexes files, such as one with more than 100 tables...
