    Hi Shivipanwar 

     

    tharunkumarRTK Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

     

    The missing installer is indeed a possible reason.


    Allow me to add something here:

     

    In Power BI Desktop, go to and enable tracking. Try connecting to MySQL and check the detailed logs in the traces folder for more specific error messages.

     

     

    Try clearing any credentials stored in Power BI Desktop and then reconnect.

     

    If your connection requires encryption, make sure it is set up correctly.

     

    Regards,

    Nono Chen
