Microsoft.PowerBI.OleDb is not registered

[lbell]

Error message:

'The provider 'Microsoft.PowerBI.OleDb' is not registered.  The following system error occurred: Class not registered A connection could not be made to the data source.

this question has been posted several times, but I cannot find a solution on the forums.  User has uninstalled and re-installed Power BI and is still getting the same message.  Other users are accessing the same data source without getting the error.

Hi 

I am aware that this thread is a little old but I have just updated to August 2018 desktop release and I have started to have this issue, I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail, I am getting the error on both XLSX (Tables) and SQL connection. When I installed the update last week it was refreshing the connections without issue and this morning I have started to get the issue.

Is their an actual reolution to this issue as this has been brought up in the forums on and off for since 2015 and I cannot see a fix for the issue except uninstall and
