Unable to connect to SAP BW

Hi,

 

I am trying to connect to the SAP WB via Power BI but i have this error:


Details: "This error could've been the result of provider-specific client software being required, but missing on this computer. To download client software for this provider, visit the following site and choose the 64-bit (x64) version of, at minimum, 'SAP .NET Connector 3.0.0.42 / SAP .NET Connector 3.1.0.42': "

 

I tried to install .Net connector previous versions or new ones but nothing is happening eah time is the same error.
I saw in this forum that they choose the option 3 but still nothing with me.

 

please i need your help because I am stuck over here.

 

in advance thank you very much

Tahnk you very much @AmiraBedh , 

No it is not working, but i test my credentials in a colleague machine and it does work so we presume that the problem is with my laptop. Mybe there a restriction in the firewall or some configuration that we could not detect till now.

However we still working on!

Thanks a lot

Thank you @AmiraBedh for your reply, however we could not manage to configure it in our organization and this for security reasons.
However this solution will work if we already have access to SAP BW, but my case i don't have access at all.

it showing me the message above like i don't have the .Net Connector!
