Power Bi Desktop Update
Hello, I am trying to update Power BI desktop from the Power bi desktop and when I click the link to update it downloads the POwer Bi desktop installation file. I don't want to install it again but I just want to update. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hello raghavkh
To update your Power BI desktop installation, you have to download the latest version, just as it proposed you.
when you execute the downloaded file, it should detect your previous installation and update it.

I agree with other users. It is a weird setup. Why wont the software just update itself, like every other program? I was confused by the fact that I had to redownload the whole thing.
Can the update be taken care of when using the System Center Configuration Manager for Office 365 ProPlus ?

So in order to update every time , i should download the 90 Mb installation file and then update using that correct?
I cannot update power bi in W10. I have execute:
msiexec /i PBIDesktop_x64.msi /l*xv install.log and I would like attach the result but I can not either.
the windows alert said: "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource taht is unavailable.
click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containning the installation package "PBIDesktop_x64.msi" in the box bellow" and in the box bellow appear the download folder default: "c:\users\user1\downloads\" and if I push ok don´t do anything, and the trouble said that I can´t uninstall the previous version. And if I try to uninstalla manually the previous version have the same result.
I have exactly the same issue .. did you find a solution?
The update info seems to show up in the Microsoft Store. I am not sure if you can initiate an update from there, but when I accessed my store today, I could see that the Power BI Desktop app was updated yesterday for me. You might want to check that out. It will show up in the "Downloads and updates" section.
