Power BI Gateway Installation Failure

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am trying to install Gateway on a Windows server 2016 (64 bit) but keep on getting below error. I checked the .NET framework version and it is 4.7.2053.0. I have tried to install all the versions of gateway from July-19 to Nov-19 but getting the same error. 

The strange part is, latest gateway got successfully installed on Windows-10 64 bit with .NET framework 4.7.3056.0

I am guessing I am missing some configuration. Please help me solve it @GilbertQ

Hi there

What happens if you install .Net Version 4.8?

You will have to restart after the .Net installation and try again?

Hi Gilbert, I have installed the .Net framework but still get a failure any recommendation?

The .NET Framework on this machine needs to be a newer version before installation or upgrade can continue. Please upgrade to the latest available .NET version. https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2101321

Hi @GilbertQ it successfully got installed when upgraded to .NET 4.8 version. Thank you 🙂 However it's strange because as per microsoft documentation, only Feb-2020 version gateway requires .Net 4.8. But thanks anyway !!

That is strange, happy you got it installed!
