Helper IIssue with Power BI Desktop – OLEDB Provider Not Registered
Hello Fabric Community,
I’m experiencing an issue with Power BI Desktop. I’m currently using the August 2025 version,
and I’m receiving the following error message:
“The provider Microsoft.PowerBI.Oledb is not registered.”
I’ve already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application, but the issue persists.
Could you please advise on how to resolve this? Thank you in advance for your support.
