    I deinstalled everything I could find. Even pbi desktop.. it simply refuses to install the personal gateway. It does install the on premises gateway. However, i did not succeed in changing the gateway from personal to on premises in the pbi web version.

      What do you mean "refuses to install the personal gateway"? Can you select "Personal Gateway" during installation?

       

       

      Also if you want to use on-premise gateway, please add the data source in "Manage Gateway" first, then go to dataset setting to see if you can change it from personal gateway to data gateway.

       

      Regards,

        If I run that option, it returns ith the message it cannot install the gateway. It reports Please uninstall the Microsoft Data Management Gateway before continuing.

        However, I have cleaned up everything through the normal channels (windows uninstall followed by cc cleaner). There should be nothing left..:smileymad:

        If I take the other option, om premis gateway, it runs through the first part after confirming this choice but then it just stops the installation and there is nothing ...

        I have worked with the personal gateway for pbi only until the beginning of september without issues. Weird this simple install gets so complicated.
