I've run through this process in a test environment and can't seem to complete the upgrade to PBI RS from the March 2018 release.
I'm starting from an SSRS 2016 server. Ran through the upgrade process to the PowerBI RS October 2017 release.
From there everything seems to work fine. I can browse the folders, run reports, no problem.
When I attempt to install the PBIRS March 2018 release, it seems to go through just fine but the report server is not browsable. All we get is a notice "Something went wrong. Please try again later".
I've attempted this process several times. It leaves me in exactly the same spot every time. As far as I can tell, the March 2018 release of PBI Report Server is a bust.
Some more information. I did a seperate install on a fresh database to see if I was missing anything and there were 80+ objects missing. Mostly stored procedures, some tables. Either way, I think that the server worked after the Oct 2017 install was superficial only. I had only attempted to run SSRS paginated reports and no PBI reports. My guess is it wasn't really working with the old version either.
