Were you able to resolve this.  I have the same issue and get the same message when trying to uninstall the older version on my PC.  So can't uninstall or install

    I did solve this, but it was just by completely uninstalling and re-installing PowerBI Desktop.

     

    I didn't do anything special beyond that.

     

    My company's Service Desk suggested wiping and re-imaging the PC from scratch if the uninstall didn't work, but luckily it didn't come to that. You might be able to remove PowerBI Desktop by manually deleting files and editing the Registry but that is a bit scary.

     

    Sorry I can't provide much more than that...
