Power BI Desktop Problems Installing With Latest Update (cannot exceed 100 characters)

[cvillegas]

Found a bug in the latest release of PBI Desktop that gets locally installed (non-Windows store edition) (v. 2.88.721.0) of the install for the desktop product of PBI Desktop.

When you attempt to install to the default path:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\

It presents you with an error stating path cannot exceed 100 characters and it won't allow you to install to most if any location.

The build before this version worked with no issues. This is the x64 version.

Thanks!
