Thanks for your help.

 

I went back and re-installed .NET Data Provider 16.10.00.00. I confirmed that I am on Version: 2.52.4921.581 64-bit (November, 2017), and I rebooted my laptop.

 

But I still get "The connector requires ...". It's like Power BI cannot find the .NET Data Provider on my machine.

timl，

Do you get same error message when you install Power BI Desktop in other computer?

    Unfortunately I don't have another computer handy. I think I will continue using Teradata via the ODBC driver. But thanks for your help.

      Hi timl, I used to have The same problem. What fixed it for me is to chose repair when you reinstall the .netprovider instead of deleting it and reinstalling it.
