Steps to reproduce:
(1) Windows 7 Professional with all patches; Thunderbird 52.x 32-bit.
(2) Uninstalled all plugins and addons from a user profile using the Thunderbird GUI (pre version 52). (Regular user, no admin rights.) This removed Lightning.
(3) I then discovered that there was no way to re-install Lightning.
(4) Copied extensions\{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103} from another profile and fixed permissions. This restored Lightning; (I think).
Actual results:
Removing Lightning via the GUI is possible. Restoring Lightning through the GUI is not.
Expected results:
Thunderbird should have noticed that the Lightning extensions directory was missing and then allowed it to be restored. As a workaround, the manual procedure to restore Lightning should be documented and findable via Google/Bing etc.

You can install Lightning from Menu Add-ons > Get Add-ons because Lightning 5.4 is finally released on addons.mozilla.org too: https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/lightning/versions/5.4
