Power BI TeamThere is a known issue we are curently investigating. To workaround please use the silent installation that can be executed with this command: “PBIDesktopSetup_x64.exe -quiet ACCEPT_EULA=1 LANGUAGE=en-US”

New version of the Single Installer was published 9/26 to the Download Center that solves this problem: https://aka.ms/pbiSingleInstaller
Unfortunately, the installer is still not working for me on Windows Server 2012 R2.
It does not open up, neighter by using command line nor by using "run as administrator" on the .exe-file.
In the past using the .msi-file there has never been any issues.

Please reach out directly to me at [email protected], so that we can help troubleshooting this problem. Would be great if you can collect installation logs and send it to me. They can be found in the %temp% directory under ‘C:\Users\*UserName*\AppData\Local\Temp\‘ and there are two files names starting with ‘Microsoft_PowerBI_Desktop_’. Send me the latest ones.
