Installed PowerBI desktop (x64) (clean install) last week (didn't note the version installed) and played around with local data file sources, all ok.
Today I attempted to connect to a SQL database on Azure VM and received the following message;
Details: "An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNINativeMethodWrapper' threw an exception.'"
Upgraded to the latest version Version: 2.87.923.0 64-bit (November 2020) as a previous post suggested that this may fix the fault.
Retried the connection, same result.
Perused the various documents in C:\Users\#username#\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop, traces,snapshots,performance traces, can't see anything obvious. I can't find a stack trace, although I have seen similar reports in Github earlier this year.
Can't find SNI.dll on my machine, do I have to install Microsoft.Data.SqlClient Nuget package?
