I'm very much a novice with this, and only moved to Electrum after issues with my Blockchain.Info wallet and Multibit app where it was asking for the wallet to be updated, but then wouldn't accept the Password Mnemonics.
Whilst trying to find a fix for that, I ended up importing the wallet into Electrum and all has been fine until this latest update.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate.
I opened Electrum today to make a transfer and saw an update available, so after i'd sorted my transfer, I downloaded it, verified the download and installed the new version, then, on trying to open Electrum, I get the following errors (and yes I used the new desktop shortcut to run Electrum, not an old one)

https://i.postimg.cc/fb0qK2Sg/error-2.pngobviously this was all a bit scary, having lost access previously to my wallet, so i followed the guidance there and re-ran the 4.2.0 installer, no difference, restarted the pc, and re-ran Electrum, still no difference.
At this point I was beginning to worry, so system restored my pc to yesterday, and then tried runnign Electrum again, from the old short cut, this resulted in nothing happening/starting, so I re-installed v4.1.5 and I seem to be back up and running again now, but obviously not on the latest version.
So can anyone shed any light on this or offer any assistance as to what I may have done wrong, and how to install the latest version ?
