    Not 100% sure, but I think the issue is a matter of package version compatibility. Unfortunately, XML is orphaned and installing older versions of it is hard. I solved it by migrating the rhtml visual from XML to xml2. There is a PR on the official MS Powerbi-Visual-Tools repo that has the modified flatten_HTML and dependencies.json files if anyone struggles with XML in the future. Feel free to comment on it and encourage the repo maintainers to review and merge it.

XML is used to save the widget out into a Power BI compatible file, but installing versions besides the current release on Windows is bad. I spent about 12 hours total on it and tried 3 different methods - 2 almost worked, making it past the make phase and erroring out just past R's lazy load stage.
