Getting started with Power BI embed

[Markzolotoy]

I have registred my application (went with all defaults except the app name). At the end I dowloaded a sample application:

https://app.powerbi.com/embedsetup/AppOwnsData?session_id=be60698f-5b62-435a-a74e-aef4f3060e91

I opened it in VS and built it. clicked run and gt this:

Server Error in '/' Application.

@V-lianl-msft Also going through documentation I see that I will have to create a tenant. I have a Pro license from my company. Will I be able to create a tenant for my developement and testing?

[V-lianl-msft]

Hi @Markzolotoy ,

Based on your description, do you only have a pro license? If so, have you applied for a free trial or paid for the node?

@V-lianl-msft No, I have not. Is there a development environment for Power BI embeded?

[V-lianl-msft]

Hi @Markzolotoy ,

Try to apply for a free trial. When you need to enter the real development stage, you need to purchase nodes and deploy them.

@V-lianl-msft So I can add some capacity even if I use a Pro license given by my company?

@Markzolotoy After looking at the error- Could not find a part of the path 'C:\PowerBI\App Owns Data\PowerBIEmbedded_AppOwnsData\bin\roslyn\csc.exe'.

Looks like some folder path is missing. Have a look at that.

Appreciate your kudos!! Mark this post as solution if it helps.

[Markzolotoy]

I dont have this folder.

[Anonymous]

And that's why you are getting the error.

Try to locate the folder where the exe resides.

Or may be the install was not completed successfully. Try re-installing.

I am not sure what else I can do, I simply downloaded the zip, built solution and ran it. What else can I do?

[Anonymous]

I believe that would require installation of multiple applications
