Hallow everyone,
after updating Power BI desktop from version 2.114 (Feb 2023 Release) to the March 2023 version, the app crashed immediately on startup giving an error that an external component has thrown an exception. the application is installed on a windows server 2012 R2, some error details are below.
I thought I would roll back to Dec. 2022 version to see if it works, I unfortunatlly don't have the 2.114 setup file anymore.
Please help.
