I've tried lots of the solutions posted elsewhere - like deleting/renaming the RSA and Keys folders, using a different email address etc. But I am still stumped by this error when trying to create Personal Gateway.
Does anybody know how to fix it?
Thanks!

Did you find a solution?
No. I just gave up 😊. Even MS tech support was unable to resolve this one.
Hi @smacsween ,
I still could not reproduce your problem until now...It may be related to the environment, account number and many other factors.
Maybe you could go to https://support.powerbi.com ,scroll down and click "CREATE SUPPORT TICKET" for further help.
Best Regards,
Yuna
