The Personal gateway Installer Failed to Download

When trying to install the personal gateway for Power BI, I keep receiving the error message:

"The Personal gateway installer failed to download.
The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable."

 

I thought it might be our corporate network blocking the connection but a colleague tried to install over internet from her home connection and she was receiving the same error message.

 

Any ideas where I should start to fix this problem?

Last week I tried the Firewall or Proxy test that recently was posted on the Power BI site:

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-gateway-onprem-tshoot/#firewall-or-proxy

 

The test did not show any problems with the firewall.

 

I then downloaded the most recent version of the Gateway and the install was successful.  I do now know what changed that caused the install to work, when previously it had not.

 

Thank you for your assistance.  I appreciate your time on this.

Hi @Mihalko,

 

Please try to download the PowerBIGatewayInstall.exe from this site. When you check the personal gateway and run this .exe file, please use Fiddler to trace http traffic.

 

Best Regarsd,
