delta Looks like a perms issue. Looking up the 1603 error leads me to this support page. Check the things outlined there to see if that resolves your issue.

Thanks for the quick reply Eno. However, none of the items in the cause list apply to our situation.

 

 I forgot to mention in my first post that this is a fresh install. Neither Gateway or Power BI has ever been installed on this machine.

    delta hmm. Can't say for sure, here is another scenerio to look into (Different product, but seemed to apply) It's not necessarily a "Power BI" thing, it seems that its an environmental issue that is killing the install of a new service.

      Thank you Eno for trying to help. I ran multiple repairs and Windows Updates on the server hoping to fix whatever was wrong with the installer. Nothing gets it past that errror.

       

      I've given up trying to install it on 2008 and moved it to 2016. That server didn't give me an error.

        Hi delta,

         

        From your description, the issue should be related to machine specific. You can create a support ticket to get dedicated if you want.
