| Manual installation | No | You can manually download and install an executable (.exe) file from the [Microsoft Download Center](https://aka.ms/pbiSingleInstaller). However, be aware that the user who installs the software must have local administrator rights—in most organizations, those rights are restricted. If you choose to use this approach (and it isn't managed by IT), there's a risk that users will end up with different versions of Power BI Desktop installed, possibly resulting in compatibility issues. Also, with this approach, every user will need to be notified to install quick fix engineering (QFE) releases, also known as _bug fixes_, when they come out. |
