Thanks, Mark, that 'reset' trick worked.  All the items under that 
config area are showing boolean 'true' which I took to mean 'enabled', 
but using the Reset context-menu action cleared it back to default, and 
now all is well again.


I think it indicates that the distributed (bundled) extension has 
previously been installed in the profile, so it doesn't get installed 
again if you manually remove it.  Otherwise SeaMonkey can't tell whether 
the bundled extension is missing from your profile because it was never 
installed or because it had been but you deliberately removed it.  In 
this case, you want the bundled extension to be reinstalled, so need to 
reset the flag.

Recently installed 2.53.1, and all bookmarks/tab and emails/subfolders

installed, so I had the 'Events and..' menu bar item visible, to 
select calendar from, etc.  It is no longer displaying.   It's not 
just invisible and taking up space, it's not on the menu bar at all.


My install was performed while a real-time backup tool was also 
running, which has a job assigned to keep my profile info updated, as 
it changes.   Hoping this was a minor hiccup, I restarted the PC, 
killed the backup software and re-ran the installer.  No errors, but 
still no Lightning module items.


My profile folder still contains a 'calendar-data' subfolder, and 
there are 3 sqlite database files inside.  Looking at the Add-ons Mgr 
screen, there was an entry for a version of Lightning that was never 
removed but marked as incompatible, so I uninstalled that and re-tried 
the new installer once more.  No joy.


Everything appears to work normally, other than my inability to 
utilize the Lightning components that have been included in this 
distribution.


Any suggestions on how to at least regain access to the menus for 
Lightning?


See under "Known Issues" in the release notes at 
:
Lightning or one of the distributed extensions is not showing up or is 
disabled under Add-ons.
If the extension is disabled and can not be enabled deinstall it. If 
it does not show up after restart do the following:

* Enter "about:config" in the location bar.
* Enter "extensions.installedDistroAddon" in the search field.
* Reset the key of the extension not showing up using the popup menu 
with the mouse. If in doubt just reset all keys, but this might bring 
back previously uninstalled distributed Add-ons.

* Restart SeaMonkey.

Did you check Tools > Add-ons Manager and make sure it is enabled?

Also it only appears in the Mail & Newsgroups window, not the Browser 
window.
