PowerBI Custom Connector with Windows 11 App Store
Hi kevinxbrown ,
You can review the following links and check if they can help you solve the problem.
I've found out what the issue was by myself.
I had my custom connectors in the folder [Documents]\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectorsand PBI desktop saw them without problem.
Once I installed a third-party connector it created a folder without the 'Microsoft' word: [Documents]\Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors. After that PBI Desktop takes a custom connectors from this folder and ignores my connectors. All I did is copied my connectors into that new folder and now it works well.
To me, looks like a bug as in according to documentation connectors must be placed in the [Documents]\Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors folder.
Why does PBI desktop get a connectors from other folder?
Custom Connectors path unavailable
Best Regards
Thanks for taking the time to respond, yes, effectively Win 11 App Store also looks in the same place as Desktop app in DOCUMENTS folder not in Program files. Sorry I had earlier followed some incorrect instructions on the net.
