Trying to update to 91.4.0: Installer reports that there is a previous update that needs a restart to finish, clicked "yes" (see image, below), then tried again after restart and the same problem comes up. I'm in a loop it seems. Also tried without restarting - still not working. Any ideas?

Got it. Deleted the entire directory "mozilla thunderbird" under "program files (x86)", 

and then ran install again, worked perfectly. New install dumps it under regular "program files" so maybe the installer was having trouble with that.
