Power BI Desktop Installation Fails
I am having no luck installing the latest version of Power BI Desktop.
I have downloaded PBIDesktopSetup_x64.exe from the appropriate MS Website. When I attempt to run it, nothing happens.
Ithe cursor changes to the busy icon for a couple of seconds, and then stops, and I'm back to the normal cursor.
What I have tried:
Redownloading the file (twice).
Restarting the PC.
Running it with Admin Privs.
Making sure I have .Net 4.8 Advanced Services Installed and active.
Running it from the command line with a -log "pbinstalllog.txt" flag. (Not only did this not help, it didn't even create a log file that I could find.)
Downloading it from the MS Store. (It downloaded, but then died during installation with an "unexpected error").
I'm at my wits end.
Please help!
