installation error PowerBI Desktop Report Server March version
First, I was able to install on my machine (Win 10) with no issues. However, I was unable to install on a colleague's machine. Since I have admin privileges, I do the install for him and we have never before had a problem. He has a Win 7 box. Today, we got an error: "The specified path is too long: <Path here>". Clearly this is incorrect since the path for me would be exactly the same length and I installed successfully. So we manually created the path the installer wanted, and then got this error: "Error getting file security: <path here> GetLastError: 50"
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Did you have this resolved yet? I am getting the same issue with no avail. Thank you.
No, sorry, I haven't heard anything about it. I have to admit I am little bit relieved to see someone else having the same issue.
Hi pbrase,
For this error "The specified path is too long: <Path here>", you just need to rename the file name or folder name to a short one. It will solve the error. And regarding second error, I'm not sure but it's may be due to Admin privileges.
Thanks and Regards
