I am struggling to stop Kindle for PC upgrading.
I installed KindleForPC-installer-1.17.44170.exe as an admin user into C:\Program Files (x86)\Amazon\Kindle
by right clicking and select "run as administrator"

I actually run it as a non admin user.
It allows me to run it for while, register and download a azw book, but at some point it updates anyway.
The updated version seems to go into my local profile instead of Program Files (x86).

I definitely have "Install automatic updates..." not selected.

I tried the script but I get "Cannot disable downloads - Kindle for PC is not installed at expected location
Press any key to continue . . ."

Also I cannot find any "updates" folder.

Can anyone help?
