I have just recieved a new computer with a new company, I am unable to install Power BI Desktop (x64) since it will prompt me with "Are you sure you want to cancel Microsoft Power BI Desktop (x64) installation?" right after I click 'Next' on the first screen. It seems to freeze and I have to use task manager to close it. I have admin rights on this account so I am at a loss for what could be causing this. Any help would be appreciated.
I have already hunted through Registry and there is no record of a power bi install.
Thanks!

@Icey @parry2k Thank you both for the suggestions however I was able to find what the issue was...
In cmd line I ran the below statement...
c:\Users\<User Name>\Desktop>PBIDesktopSetup_x64.exe -log "powerbi_install_log.txt"
After I let the install fail again the log file pointed out my issue....

What I ended up doing was having one of our desktop support folks run it with his account. I don't know why they limit us and don't allow us to 'create restore points' which ultimantly is what held up the install.
I also have a same problem as discribed above
Hi @DZWilson2 ,
1. Please check if your computer configuration meets the minimum requirements to run Power BI Desktop.
2. If it does meet the requirements, please re-download the installation package and try it again.
Best Regards,
Icey
