PBI error (again): We weren't able to restore the saved database to the model

Hi,

 

I just upgraded to the March version of PBI. Now I'm not able to open any of my reports. It fails with: We weren't able to restore the saved database to the model.

 

I will look into downgrading and reinstalling, but I want you also to know about this issue, in case you run into it.

 

bye,

 

Rudi

After de-installing and re-installing the March version, everything seems to be working as normal.

Additional information:

 

I regularly see pop up command windows with SQLDUMPER.exe running. They disappear within a  second.
