Unable to install powerBI desktop

Hi,

 

I am not able to install POWERBI desktop client tool on my local machine windows 7, 64bit.

 

After downloading the free version, x64.msi exe file, it throws an error reading "This installation package could not be opened. Contact application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package".

 

I have tried on at least 4 other laptops and all ge the same error.

 

Thoughts,

 

Abhi

@abmehta perhaps go and check that the program hasn't already been installed and got stuck half way.

Control Panel - Uninstall Programs.

 

Download the new November release from two days ago and try again.
