Facing issue when installing Power BI report Server

Hi,

 

I am new to Power BI so just trying my hands on it.

 

Today I tried to install Power BI Report Server on one of our test servers however its stuck on 'Installing Microsoft Net 4.5.2' from hours. I tried rebooting the server but that didn't help. PBI_RS_Issue.PNG

I'd try the following:

 

1. Cancel and check that PBI report server is not installed. If it is, uninstall it then reboot

2. Try installing the latest version of the .net framework (4.5.2 or later) manually. You can download from microsoft download center. 

3. Reboot, then try installing again.
