No calendar after update Thunderbird 52.9.1 > 60.3.0

Production computer.

Accepted Thunderbird update from Help:About, and let it run.

Now no calendar after update Thunderbird 52.9.1 > 60.3.0

Go to Tools:Addons, and Lightning is gone.

Search for Lightning, and it says it is incompatible.

What now?

Thank you, Morat.

From that link, this is what worked:
"Lightning disappears after a Thunderbird update (release and beta versions)

This may happen if the update of the add-on is stuck. Don't worry about your calendar data, it is left untouched and will be available again if you follow these steps to restore Lightning:

Go to the Advanced section of Thunderbird Options and click on Config Editor...
Copy or start typing extensions.installedDistroAddon.{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103} into the search box
When it is listed in the preferences list below, right-click on it and choose Reset from the context menu - the preference now isn't bold anymore and its value is empty
Close the editor, leave the Thunderbird options, open Thunderbird's add-ons manager and switch to the list of installed extensions
If Lightning is listed there, click on Uninstall to the right of the list item
Restart Thunderbird

After Thunderbird has been relaunched, Lightning will be back and you will have access to your calendar data. "
