Hi,
I installed the Power BI data gateway onto the C:\ drive of a server, only to find out later that IT would like software installed on the D:\ drive. When I try to rerun the gateway installer, I get a message stating "The on-premises data gateway installation has failed. You are trying to reinstall a version already installed on the machine. If you would like to proceed, please uninstall the current version and reinitiate the install."
I can't even really find out how to uninstall the software, and based on other posts it sounds like it's best to turn off one gateway and turn on another. I have some data sources set up on this connection, so ideally would be able to move to the D:\ drive without breaking things. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I'm an idiot. I've been working with Oracle software all day and totally forgot normal software can be removed much more easily. Thank you!
