Power BI Custom Visual testing VM

[MikeAinOz]

Hi There, I'm trying to reproduce a certification issue with a Custom Visual. I'd like to test it in a Windows 10 VM with the latest version of Power BI desktop, exactly the same as the certification environment. Can anyone advise if this is downloadable or am I better off rolling my own?

TIA

Mike

Hi  @MikeAinOz  ,

Sorry, I thought you wanted to be interested in copy VM. Maybe you and super user have more correct ideas. This is part of the material about Citrix ADC, which can be used for your reference

Thanks Liu Yang, are you saying that the Citrix tools are the way to go for the testing VM? I was going to use Azure, if you can locate the testing VHD, or equivalent for me I can mark this question as answered? Is there a Citrix ADC for this? I haven't used Citrix for a long time, so I'm not familiar with the current offerings.

They don't actually provide you with a copy of the test VM, so I want both really a new VM that is a replica of what it might look like. I'm actually rather interested in the firewall settings and the versions of the software running. If I can reproduce the crash I will be happy, I'll try the dev forum

Thanks for that, what a super answer! I'm doing some testing as we've had a fail and I want to use the same or similar VM as the tester.  I wish to duplicate the environment
