Thanks again to all for help and assistance on this issue.
My 1.9.2 upgrade from 1.8.3 worked fine* from the start on WinXP. Perhaps the need to uninstall first only applies to machines that were "touched" by the bogus 1.9.0 and 1.9.1.

*"fine" as defined by the rude installer engineers at Amazon who think that an installation should reset any and all file associations for the various format extensions without asking permission and giving an option to opt out. Every upgrade requires that I spend several minutes re-doing my preferred default Open behavior (Kindle Previewer) with the accompanying recitation of a significant portion of my vocabulary of four letter Anglo-Saxon slang and the Feedback complaint I send when the app launches at the end of the upgrade install. At least I got a reply from Amazon's customer service this time.
