    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.

raulbarton I was getting an option "Next" and I wasn't able to uninstall from control panel as well.

 

maxui I installed Windows Installer CleanUp Utility available on the microsoft website and it removed all the directories related to Power BI. And then I was able to install the latest version of PowerBI.

This unistall utility worked for me. The only tweak was that there was no reference to a previous PowerBI installation, since theoretically it was already unistalled. But there were two "Name not available" (or something like that, not sure) entries which I could forcebly uninstall. After that, the new installation from msi just worked as expected. Thanks!!
