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.
As the error message said, the Microsoft Data Management Gateway is not uninstalled. Please try to delete the folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Management Gateway" to see if you can install Personal Gateway. See a related blog: Failure installing the Power BI Personal Gateway
