Power BI Desktop Class Not Registered Error

Hi,

 

I just downloaded Power BI Desktop from Microsoft Store - version 2.88.802.0 64-bit (December 2020).

 

When I connect to any Excel data source (.xlsx) and try to apply changes, I receive error "Class not registered".

 

Please help! If anyone has downloaded the latest Power BI too and have the same error?

    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    You may try downloading the latest version Power BI Desktop executable from the  Download Center  to see if it works.

     

    Best Regards

      Thanks Allan, the latest version in Download Centre didn't work but I got passed the error by downloading an old version, specifically the March 2020 version I had saved on my PC previously.

      Hello, I've tried uninstall and resintall from Windows Store but does not work. Could it be a bug in this version? I've also tried 'paste data into a blank table' as a data source, but receive the same error when I try to apply changes.
