This article seems to imply there is a Windows App simpler than Power BI Desktop.
It provides a link to install it from the "store" but this leads me to various error messages (is it due to my corporate PC setup?)...
Looking for a download option leads me to the PowerBI download page where there is no mention of such an app...
Does this app exist and where can I install it from? Other than the Microsoft Store...
Thanks
Eric

Hi, @Anonymous
Powerbi windows app is not similar to Powerbi desktop.
Powerbi windows app is PowerBI mobile app for Windows device.
PowerBI desktop prefers to build reports while powerbi window app prefers to view and analyze reports.
Please refer to this document about Power BI app for Windows 10
As of now,the Power BI mobile app for Windows 10 is available from the Windows Store. The Power BI mobile app for android is available from Google Play .

I hope people find this answer faster than I did. Previously Power BI's website had a download link that opened the Microsoft Store. This was a weird way to install a powerful application. It was at:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/
But now it's at:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494
It has a proper download page now. And on the powerbi DL page, there is still a Microsoft Store link, but the Advanced Download Options link takes you to the new download page. There is still an app in the Microsoft Store, but it's basically a web interface to access the cloud version of Power BI.
This redirects me to the Microsoft Store and I get the error
Which is not that helpful...
It's the same kind of link I got in the article, which leads to Microsoft "Store".
If I try on a non corporate PC, then I can install
Unfortunately, this seems inaccessible from "Store" on my corporate PC.
I was hoping there would be a non-Store install (like there is for everything else, including Power BI Desktop)...
