Hi, jpatino-mcp 

I just tried this status quo and when I finished installing the September 23 version and opened the May 24 installer and he showed the image below.

You may be able to check if you have a 23-year-old Report Server on your computer. It's weird.

It's also possible that you previously installed SQL Server Reporting Services because their installation interface is very similar.

You can check it.

Hello Anonymous 
Thank you for your response. I have confirmed the following:

  1. Installation:

    • The installation is on the same server where I have Power BI Report Server September 2023 installed.
    • This is the only instance of Power BI Report Server running on this server.

       


       

  2. Verification with January Version:

    • I also tried running the January 2024 installer by aduguid , but the "Upgrade" option is still not appearing.

       

Given these checks, the issue persists with both the January and May 2024 installers.

Could you please provide further guidance or additional steps that I might need to follow to enable the upgrade option in the installer? Are there any specific configurations or prerequisites that I might be missing for these newer versions?

Thank you for your assistance.

    I'm actually upgrading 2 servers over the weekend to May 2024 version. I'll post screenshots of the install.

      Here are screenshots from the upgrade from Jan 2024 to May 2024. It all worked with no issues on both servers.

        I have just noticed an issue on direct query connections after the upgrade. I didn't catch it on the test instance. I only have a few like this. For the time being I've updated them to an import connections. The sources are just views, so I'm not sure why the error is saying Analysis Services.

         

        An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.
