I have a similar problem

 

My Yellow message is a bit different though -sorry I couldnt paste the pic-

 

This is the yellow message

! C:\Program Files\Power BI Analysis Services Connector\1.0\Shared\diacmd.exe

 

I had the Power BI Analysis Services Connector, but then learned you can't have both -that and the Personal Gateway- so I uninstalled the Analysis Services Connector.  I made sure it is all gone and I am certain that there is no such folder anywhere in the C drive.  But it still appears there somehow during the Configuration.

    Got it. I had to remove everything under this registry key:

     

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataTransfer]

     

    It had a reference to diacmd.exe

     

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataTransfer\DataManagementGateway\ConfigurationManager]
    "DiacmdPath"="C:\\Program Files\\Power BI Analysis Services Connector\\1.0\\Shared\\diacmd.exe"

     

    Export the key first, såo you have a backup.
