SQLDUMPER.EXE BlackWindow Closes Power BI
Hi,
Ive just updated Windows 10 (December 17) and since then every time im creating a relationship between tables in Power BI a Black Windows pops up and closes the program. The link above the window is .../Microsoft Power BI Desktop/bin//SQLDUMPER.EXE.
Any idea how to fix it?
Thankyou very much,
Miguel
Hi miguegallop,
This issue has been submitted and accepted as an issue which should be addressed in the January update.
As a work around try using the "Manage relationships" dialog to edit or create relationships - this has worked for me an does not crash Power BI if an invalid relationship is attempted.

For me this happens when I attempt to publish to the Service (using January update).
Same here, with the January release. It happens when I publish a report while not signed in. It then prompts to sign in, and when authentication completes, it closes with SQLDUMPER. Making sure that I'm signed in before publishing (or even before saving the report locally) seems to avoid it.
I didn't encounter this in the December release, but I can't recall having been signed out in the past.
This has happened to me in the past if a field that I was using in a relationship contained any .NULL. content.
When it just reappeared in the JAN 18 update on data that was previously OK, I was most concerned and investigated my relationships again.
Simply doing this and refreshing the entire dataset has effectively cured this issue for me.
If you are in a bind I suggest you try this and maybe eport your findings for others.

Yep same here, even with the latest Jan update.

Hi
I also encountered the same issue after the recent upgrade.
Hi,
The same here June update. When copying new queries in the advanced editor. Does someone post a bug? I can't find it.Same error. Not always, seems random, but happens sometimes when copying in the advanced editor.
Same for me, it's really really **bleep**.
Same here. Issue posted at:

I have the same problem with the January update. I'm not able to open my file. When I try to do it appears a black window SQLDUMPER.EXE and the close the program.
How can I proceed????
I haven't updated to Feb release yet. This week it happened to me three times. All happened when I had been working for quite some time in the desktop app. And whenever it happens, it signs me out. In one case, I had two instances running, but only one of them had the problem. It was the one where I had been working in for some hours, the other one I had opened a few minutes before. That seems to confirm my earlier suspicion that it has to do with some session timeout.
I found a new workaround that seems to do the trick: Save the file and close the app. Then open the app, open the file, make sure you're signed in and then publish. So far it worked for me.
This error is back again in June release Version: 2.70.5494.562 64-bit (June 2019) :-(
Indeed, I experience the same in June 2019 release version...

Hi I also encountered the same issue after the last version.
I donwloaded it on 16/01/2018.
Can you help me?
Thanks
This makes the product unusable for me. I just upgraded to the Jan release and cannot make a single relationship between any of the tables included in my report. Is there a workaround? Using the relationship manager still causes a crash.
