Looks like this DLL is missing from the November release, similar to this issue from February 2023: Problem with Parquet files. Unexpected error: Unab... - Microsoft Fabric Community

You have 2 options:

• Use an old version --> The easiest option is to downgrade to the October 2023 release and wait for Microsoft to fix it.
• Add DLL manually -->  As this is not an option for you, you can follow the workaround showed in the other issue:
  • Install old (October) version
  • Copy the ParquetSharpNative.dll to somewhere for safekeeping. You can find it in the installfolder, the path could look like this: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\bin\ParquetSharpNative.dll"
  • Install the newest version
  • Copy the dll back into the folder

Hope this helps.
