Bug Power BI Gateway installation error/crash

I am having issues installing the Power BI Gateway (powerbigatewayinstaller.exe). It seems the installer doesn't initiate/run.

I think there might be an issue with the application itself, since I am having the same issues on three different computers.

 

I have tried: 

  • Run as administrator
  • Start the installer from Run
  • Check the Task Manager if the process is actually running, with no trace of the gateway.

So I figured I check the Event viewer, and found a .net runtime error with event id 1026. There's also an application error, but I presume this is down to the .net runtime error. The information from the event viewer is as follows:

I encountered the same problem

 

Some additional information:

i have tested this on multiple machines, both physical and virtual, and on multiple windows versions (10 & server '12).

 

I have also noted that occurs with version 14.16.6464.1 which is 383 KB big.

version 14.16.6359.1 with size 507KB (which a college of mine downloaded some weeks ago) doesnt seem to have the problem.

In this post (which seems to be the same issue) a link to a possible solution was posted:

 

-"We are experiencing a temporary issue where users attempting to install the Data Gateway may experience issues during the installation of the product. As a workaround, you can manually install each gateway. For On-premises data gateway, go to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=820931. For On-premises data gateway (Personal Mode), go to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=615873. Engineers are aware of the issue and working on a fix. Next update @09/21/2017 10:00 PST."-
