Hi @mrHegde,

 

I know that previous desktop can be installed in this machine, but I would also like to let you double check if the minimum requirements are met according to this article.

 

Based on my test, if the Power BI desktop is uninstalled completely, the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop will be removed. From the error message, please go to that path, if Microsoft Power BI Desktop exist, please remove that folder then install the Power BI desktop again.
