    cd \

    dir *.mgdsqldumper.dll /s

        Anonymous OK, That first file in the root of C:\ looks correct as well as the one in Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\bin. Are you sure you are using the Microsoft Store version because I would have expected that to be in something like Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftPowerBIDesktop_2.109.782.0_x64_...\bin. Weird that the dll is sitting in the root of C.
