    Hi Anonymous,

    The above error message could occur when some items of previous data management gateway are not uninstalled completely. Please perform the following steps to clean out the previous gateway.

    1. Verify that if data management gateway exists in Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features. If it exists, uninstall it.
    2. Delete upgrade code from Registry, please ensure you back up the registry before you make any changes to it. You can find the upgrade code by using log file mentioned in the above screenshot and Process Monitor, for more details, please review this similar blog.
    3. Delete Data Management Gateway folder in C:\Program Files.

    After you completely remove previous data management gateway, install personal gateway again and check if it is successful.

    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang

Thank

 

using the MSIEXEC /X properly uninstall the gateway and I was able to reinstall (first time install worked, then I uninstall PowerBI personal Gatway and reinstall it and that is when trouble began)

 

I uninstall it because I was unable to make it work.

Still unable to make it work though.

Will write another message for that.
