Hi @raghuveluru,

 

From error message, it looks like a permission issue. Please try to reinstall personal gateway as an administrator.

 

Also, please follow this document: Troubleshooting Power BI Gateway - Personal to check any possibility that might cause installation failure.

 

Based on my research, the 1603 error might be related to your machine environment configuration. Please check the things outlined in this blog to see if that resolves your issue.

 

Best regards,
Yuliana Gu
