Recently, while working with Power BI Desktop to create a report connected to MS SQL Server 2022, I encountered the following error after opening the report on a different computer:
Error Message: “Could not load file or assembly ‘System.EnterpriseServices Version=4.0.0.0′”
Troubleshooting Steps
I searched for solutions and found a helpful discussion on the Power BI community forum here. Based on the suggestion, I tried the following steps:
- Run Power BI Desktop as Administrator:
- Right-click on the Power BI Desktop icon.
- Select “Run as administrator.”
After running Power BI Desktop as an administrator, the issue was resolved, and I was able to open the report without further errors.
Conclusion
If you encounter this issue, try running Power BI Desktop as an administrator. This simple step resolved the problem for me, allowing seamless report access across different computers.
