PowerBI Desktop silent install causing issues with online Publish
Hi, We're trying to deploy Power BI version (2.62.5222.761) 64bits with the following silent install command line: msiexec /i "PBIDesktop_x64.msi" /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress ACCEPT_EULA=1 INSTALL...
Hi Cherie,
Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately is not my case the thread you've sent; I've already taken care of the Eula acceptance. As you can see my command line the switch is there, so the installation return code is 0, but is not enough to let the users to Publish their documents. They can use normally the application with this installation except for the Publish button that only works when using the full GUI installation process. That's my point.
With SCCM or even doing it manually in the system context or as Administrator, the same command line with September version msi, we're not able to use the Publish option when installing silently. I can pass the difference between a silent or manual install log files. There are some errors on their custom Actions that i identified but as I said the final return code is 0. So for SCCM or any other deployment tool will concider it as a successful installation.

Hi,
Just to let you know that this is the thread I published on the Technet SCCM forums about this case:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d2133202-79b5-4faf-bba7-70aa3488afa2/sccm-current-branch-deploys-powerbi-september-version-with-errors?forum=configmanagerapps
It seems that they redirect to PowerBI forums in order to find a solution or to open a case with Microsoft, which we already did opened a case, but I just publishing this in order to get more information for other cases or solutions.
Kind regards,
Joel E.
