I am encountering the folllowing error message when attempting to manually update/install the Aug-21 Power BI Desktop. I am stumped. I have have admin rights. I restarted machine, I uninstalled to do clean install (big mistake as now I have no Power BI access).
"Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\bin\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Xmla.Resources.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory."
I have access otherwise the other files installed would not be added. Refer to the view of the Power BI Desktop directory below.
By the way, I dont get the labels for Issues. Where is "Issue" and "Desktop". The label list seems too short!
