Tableau Reader 2024 - The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

[[email protected]]

I have been receiving this error for a couple of nights now. I have confirmed that the link listed in the error does download the file. Not much else in the kb seemed to apply to what I am seeing. I thought I should report the issue in case there is something else at play. The log indicates the following:

An error occurred WebClient reported an error during download (https://downloads.tableau.com/tssoftware/TableauReader-64bit-2024-1-2.exe): The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden. [System.Net.WebException] HResult: -2146233079

This error appears to be a known error. Please see our KB article https://patchmypc.com/digest-mismatch-download-filtered for the resolution. [Forbidden] The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

Thx, /jeff

Hi Jeff,

We have Tableau documented on our known issues page, which you can see here.

Tableau recently started to block scripted downloads, and for the meantime requires the use of the local content repository.

Hope to have helped!
