I am attempting to install Power BI Desktop silently, my command has the ACCEPT_EULA=1 property set, but I continue to get the error
EULA has not been accepted while executing the installation in reduced UI mode. Please add the flag ACCEPT_EULA=1 to the command line.
Any ideas?

Hi @speedster,
I just verified that I can silently install Power BI Desktop successfully with the following command.
msiexec /i PBIDesktop_x64.msi /qn /norestart ACCEPT_EULA=1
As command-line options for Msiexec are case-insensitive, make sure that property name "ACCEPT_EULA" are all uppercase. Just in case, please also run the command under an administrative account.
Regards
You need to edit the MSI because ACCEPT_EULA=1 does not silently install
If you edit the MSI or create a TRASNFORM and add this line to the Property table, it will install silently with the license accepted box ticked, make sure it is as below not in CAPS as it is not a Public property
ACCEPT_EULA=1
LicenseAccepted=Yes
Thank you
Hi,
I have tried Power BI silent installation using "msiexec /i PBIDesktop_x64.msi /qn /norestart ACCEPT_EULA=1" for latest version 2.60.5169.3201 but it gets failed every single time with EVENT_Log:"Product: Microsoft Power BI Desktop (x64) -- EULA has not been accepted while executing the installation in reduced UI mode. Please add the flag ACCEPT_EULA=1 to the command line." I have tested it on DELL Laptop and Microsoft Surface Pro. I have also created a package in SCCM with command line "msiexec /i PBIDesktop_x64.msi /qn ACCEPT_EULA=1" and I found that it installs the application successfully but the output is inconsistent. Like it got installed over some test machines but got failed on others with the event log stating the same i.e. "Product: Microsoft Power BI Desktop (x64) -- EULA has not been accepted while executing the installation in reduced UI mode. Please add the flag ACCEPT_EULA=1 to the command line."
Please help out.

Just to confirm, I was able to install version 2.70.5494.701 for x64 on June 17th 2019 in silent mode with
msiexec /i PBIDesktop_x64.msi /qn /norestart ACCEPT_EULA=1
without any problems.

This answer does not work for PowerBI version 2.55.5010.641
That answer at least got me a error message in my application log:
"Microsoft Power BI Desktop (x64) -- Microsoft Power BI Desktop (x64) requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or later."
.Net 4.5 is no longer supported, so you should install .Net 4.5.2 instead. Basically KB2901983 needs to be installed. It will of course need updates. Mine needed:
- 2018-05 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1 on Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB4099633)
- Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 on Windows 7, Vista, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 x64 (KB3098781)
- Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 on Windows 7, Vista, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 x64 (KB3097996)
