R script refresh RScript.exe was not found in the specified R home directory

Hi All!

 

I am trying to schedule refresh for a R-script dataset. And I get this error:

Failed to update data source credentials: ADO.NET: RScript.exe not found. RScript.exe was not found in the specified R home directory. Please make sure you have a complete R installation.

I have installed Personal Getaway and R (put a R directory path in settings). On Desktop it works fine.

I had this problem with a Python script. The latest supported version of Python in Power BI is 3.7.1 according to this annoucement, but I had Python 3.7.2 on my computer, so I decided to reinstall 3.7.1 just in case. I don't know why this worked, but it fixed the issue for me.
