Thanks in advance.

Is there any error message when the installation fails? If yes, could you please provide a screeenshot for it?

And you can also go to Event Viewer to see if there is any error or warning message generated when the installation fails in Windows Logs - Application and System.

Please also make sure the that installer is not blocker by any antivirus software.

 

If you are using Win10, have you tried to get Power BI Desktop in Microsoft store? In that way, you will not always need to download the new version monthly and it will be updated automatically by itself.

 

Best Regards,
Herbert

After a long time (may be after a hour) there is a message of "Windows Installer not Longer responding" and that's all, then installation is aborted.
