The build number is required to uniquely identify an app version because Amazon releases multiple beta versions with the same "a.b.c" numbers.
Complicating things, the file name used for downloading and installing the program only has three of those components: KindleForPC-installer-a.b.d.exe. For example "KindleForPC-installer-2.4.70904.exe".
You should download version "2.4.0 (70904)" which has the file name "KindleForPC-installer-2.4.70904.exe".

Ooof. Most everyting you took time to explain to me is clearly written at the beginning of Method 2 at the start of the thread. I don't know how I missed it. Appreciate the duplicate effort and apologize for generating it at the same time.
