Oh help ......

Been away for a bit, was on version 9.3.1, hit to d/load & upgrade to 1.0.0,
(ignoring the Fuzezip ad button, but using the actual Calibre "Download" button), and all seemed to be OK, and I have now version 1.0.0 in my Tools/d/loads panel - also 9.3.1 which hasn't gone.
When I double click on the 1.0.0, I am offered the "Install Calibre" option panel, I hit Install, I then get the "Repair Calibre " option. I try this, and get "Calibre Instalation interrupted try later etc...."

Going back to my main icon screen, I discover my previous Calibre short-cut icon has disappeared, along with , as far as I can see, my Calibre library - in any version !

I'm on Win 8 (hate hate hate ...) and I'm completely baffled.

I am Mr TechDunce, but have never had any problems before with Calibre, over around the 4/5 years or so I have happily used and updated etc.... this wonderful system.

Can anyone sort me out please - remembering you are dealing with a moderately tech-challenged user ?!
