Trying to enter 2x2 table manually and getting the Microsoft.PowerBi.OleDb not registered error

[willeckrich]

Just installed Power BI Desktop Version: 2.65.5313.1562 64-bit (January 2019).

Launched Power BI Desktop, clicked Enter Data from the Home tab, and entered a 2 x 2 table of simple text.

Clicked Load and encountered the following error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table 1 - Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'The provider 'Microsoft.PowerBi.OleDb' is not registered. The following system error occurred: Class not registered A connection could not be made to the data source with the Name of 'e80caddf-...'. The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.'.

Thanks for your reply.  I followed someone else's advice and uninstalled/reinstalled Power BI Desktop and that fixed the problem.
