SOLVED Power Bi Update

[AAhmed]

We've already deployed Power BI 2.70.xx via SCCM. I need help in deploying the latest version of Power BI 2.76.xx via SCCM.

Hi Ahmed,

Have you tried first to install it directly to check if the new replace automatically the old version ?

 

[AAhmed]

Hello Youssef,

You mean deploy a new package with the existing app package left as is?

Regards,
Anwaar.

 

[Youssef Saad]

Disable the deployment from the old version. Install the new package.

You can try this locally first with executing the same package its command installation line.

MS announced the retirement of the MSI installer from 1st Sep 2019. That leaves only the EXE to be used

I have found that the following syntax works for me
PBIDesktopSetup_x64.exe -silent -norestart -update ACCEPT_EULA=1

And Uninstall
PBIDesktopSetup_x64.exe -silent -uninstall

I then use the Registry as Detection Method
Hope this helps
L.

Thank you Leon. Did you deploy this as a package or script?

Thanks,
Anwaar.

I create a package with that string as the install string
You can get the uninstall and detection method from the registry
