Unable to Install Power BI Desktop
Looks like i was finally able to get a workaround for this issue!
Since i was neither able to Uninstall the existing version of PowerBI in an attempt to do a clean install nor i was able to install the latest version (32 or 64 bit) of Power BI Desktop that i had downloaded from MSFT Website, I did the following.
I found an older version of the PBI Desktop in my downloads folder and used that installter to first downgrade my installation and thankfully that installation worked properly and it replaced my existing version of Power BI with an older version of PBI.
Once i had the older version of PBI Desktop installed on my system i tried the latest version of PBI Desktop installation once again and it worked for me.
I do hope that microsoft has an archive of the older version of PBI Desktop that can be downloaded and used. If not i can share it from one drive in case someone needs it.
Hope this helps!

I am having the same installation issue, "When i click on the installer to run, i just get a warning window to allow Power BI to run and then nothing happens."
I am installing Power BI Desktop for the first time (no previous versions have ever been installed on this computer) so I don't have the ability to install a previosus version.
Is there a proper fix for this installation issue?
You can still try installing the older version of PBI and if that works, then give the new version installer, once more try.
Hope that will work for you.
