Problem with Parquet files. Unexpected error: Unable to load DLL 'ParquetSharpNative'
Hello,
I have faced a problem while trying to load Parquet files. I am trying to create a content column from Binary using Parquet.Document([Content]) syntax, to get to the data later on. I am receiving the error Unexpected error: Unable to load DLL 'ParquetSharpNative': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E). Full error down below.
Here is an M code:
addContentCol = Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Other Columns", "ContentTable", each Parquet.Document([Content]))
Then I've tried to expand the Binary content using the UI and received the error without description. I copied details to clipboard, and nothing fancy there.
Find the app and error details after most recent update:
AppName: PBIDesktop
AppVersion: 2.114.664.0
Component: Microsoft.Mashup.Evaluator.EvaluationHost
Error: Microsoft.Mashup.Client.UI.Shared.ExceptionResultException
After installation of the previous version back (Version: 2.112.1161.0 64-bit (December 2022)) on my desktop, the problem disappears, so it is definitely something with the most recent February update.

Hi intruder ,
With my tests, I can't reproduce your issue. You can try to put this dll in the trash folder. Close Power BI Desktop and reopen it to view.
Based on the above information, if you are a Power BI Pro licensee, you can create a support ticket for free and a dedicated Microsoft engineer will come to solve the problem for you.
It would be great if you continue to share in this issue to help others with similar problems after you know the root cause or solution.The link of Power BI Support: Support | Microsoft Power BI
For how to create a support ticket, please refer to How to create a support ticket in Power BI - Microsoft Power BI Community

Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for your reply. I will try to remove this .dll file and hopefully it helps.
Unfortunately, I am not able to raise a support ticket since my company is blocking this page for some reason. I will send the issue to my internal IT as well so maybe they will contat Microsoft directly to solve the problem with them.
I will definately get back here with the answers.
Okay, I solved the problem. It turns out that there is no ParquetSharpNative.dll file in the folder at all. Which means, the installation file was corrupted. I re-downloaded and re-installed the file with the most recent update, and it solved the issue - dll file is in there. For some reason, the PBI file that I've downloaded on Feb 16th, didn't include ParquetSharpNative.dll file. I download the installation file today, and it solved the problem.
