Hi,
Does any one know if we can Install Power BI Desktop - Store App on a Windows Server (not a Windows 10 desktop machine but say a Windows server 2012)?
Thanks

Hi cyclist007,
Based on system requirements for this product - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/power-bi-desktop/9ntxr16hnw1t?activetab=pivot:regionofsystemrequirementstab it is not recommended even if it is possible:
System requirements: Minimum Your device must meet all minimum requirements to open this product OS Windows 10 version 14393.0 or higher
Another version of this product can be installed on Windows Server 2012 for sure - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45331 :
System Requirements Supported Operating System Windows 10 , Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2 Microsoft Power BI Desktop requires Internet Explorer 10 or greater. Microsoft Power BI Desktop is available for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) platforms.

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!It would be useful if the Store App could have been made available on Windows server as well - as it is more difficult to install a new version every month on a server!

Hi cyclist007,
By my tests, we cannot install Install Power BI Desktop - Store App on a Windows Server 2012.
We only could install the Power BI Desktop in Windows Server by downloading from the web.
