The main difference is

• Power BI desktop is used to develop reports and publish to Power BI Service(Azure cloud solution).
• Power BI desktop report server is used to develop reports and publish to Power BI Report Server(on-premise solution)

Hi,

from this location i haved downloaded Power BI Desktop :https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56136

which supports both publishing to Power BI service as well to Report server too.

Why we need to two different installer for Publish to Cloud and Premise separately.

Thanks,

Bhagya
