I had the same issue until I installed .NET version 4.6 on the server per the minimum requirement spec. Afterwards it worked as expected.

After so many months and years, the windows server 2012 r2 still unable to connect the PowerBIGatewayInstaller? is this a ready product?

@binbing,

Please help to post gateway installed log which is located at C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Temp\On-premises_data_gateway_*.log.

In addition, please make sure that you don't install gateway on a domain controller.

Regards,
Lydia

Hi Lydia,

Thanks for your reply.

Actually, I cannot install gateway when the beginning and also cannot find any log, because the error was stopped at the beginning of the installation.

Following is snapshot FYR:

the beginning of the installation and Cannot find log file.

kind regards,
