You can downlaod  from the Report Server Web Portal, below are  the steps 

  • Navigate to your Power BI Report Server's web portal.
  • Click the Download arrow and select Power BI Desktop.
  • On the Download Center page, choose your language and click Download.
  • Select the appropriate installer:
    • PBIDesktopRS.msi (32-bit)
    • PBIDesktopRS_x64.msi (64-bit)

This does not workl It actually has linked to the *May 2025* version.
