I have 32-bit version of Office 2016 installed and I installed the 32-bit version of the Power BI Desktop application but still not able to read any Access database including the sample Access DB as well as the Lab 1 Access Database containing VanArsdel's US sales data.
Then when I went to install the 32bit redistributable Access I get an error message:
"We're sorry, Microsoft Office installer encountered a problem because you have these Click-to-rn installer based Office programs installed on your computer:
Microsoft Visio Professional 2016 -en-us
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 -en-us
Windows installer and Click-toRun editions of Office programs don't get along for this version, so you can only have one type installed at a time. Please try installing the Click-to-run edition of Office instead, or uninstall your other Click-to-run based Office programs and try installation again.
-End of Error message
I have no idea of where to go to change my Office to click-to-run etc and I'm hoping that some simple workaround is available. I'd really like to avoid having to unistall Office2016 - seems rather extreme step to tak.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
