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!

Same problem here tried to install Power BI on machines at work and at home but the install stops after a few seconds without any reason given and nothing in the event log.
This really needs to be sorted.;
Unbelievable that a month later they still haven't fixed the installer.....
New update, new victims.
The workaround is not working either.
