Having Issue deploying a report to an on prem server from PowerBI desktop

  • Using PowerBI Version1.25.9508.3237(January 2026). Installed Microsoft Power BI Desktop (Optimized for Power BI Report Server - January 2026). I get an error when I try to deploy a simple report to the on prem server.

    2026-04-29 14:31:28.5398|ERROR|8|library|Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ItemNotFoundException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ItemNotFoundException: The item '/PowerBI/Test2.pbix' cannot be found.;| RequestID = s_472c98e1-fc0d-4ad1-adce-43f79272dbe9

    All other aspects of the server function as expected. I can deploy to PowerBI services, but not the on prem server. AI is indicating that the exe for Powerbi desktop should be named PBIDesktopRS.exe, but I have an older PowerBI installation that works fine with an exe named PBIDesktop.exe, so I'm not sure AI is correct.

  • name won't matter - but the version of it must match the server version (unless changed in recent versions)

    so on the download for PBIRS January 2026 you also have a powerbidesktop file - that should be used when deploying to that server install

    • PBIDesktopSetupRS_x64.exe
    • PowerBIReportServer.exe
