Cannot re-install 1.14.0 on Windows

System Windows 7 64bit.
Previous versions of Mailspring have been installed for years and regularly updated.
Likely mailspring tried to update to current version 1.14.0. But I don’t well remember if was an automatic action or if I did it by hand, anyway from the notify button within Mailspring interface.

After some days I tried to open mailspring but it didn’t appear on the screen.
I tried to uninstall, but reinstall doesn’t work. I returns an error and reports following log:

How to solve?
I just want to install it, even if I will miss all messages… and so on, I should be able to resync them after a proper reinstall.
Any hints?

Thanks in advance!

Mine did the same it was an auto update to 1.14.0

This was my solution
https://community.getmailspring.com/t/help-requested-broken-update-1-14-0-on-win-8-1/8823

Roll back to 1.13.0 and turn off updates as per the advice in this older post
https://community.getmailspring.com/t/database-error-and-unable-to-launch-app-after-installing-v1-10-0/4063/11

hopefully this will buy some time till they come up with an update that doesn’t self destruct!
