Hi @SKoul  ,

You  could help your colleague    check to see which version of .NET Framework you have installed.

similar question refer:https://github.com/ironmansoftware/universal-dashboard/issues/79 

And check if your WIN  blocked it (incompatible) refer: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Could-not-load-type-System-Runtime-InteropServices-Architect...

 

And try to download latest version  or download it with Microsoft Store. You may check Minimum requirements and Troubleshoot opening Power BI Desktop.

 

WIsh it is helpful for you!

 

Best Regards

Lucien

@SKoul , One of the reason can be not having correct/latest .net version.
