Thanks to a large banner proclaiming an "update available" I uninstalled my version which was the current version. Now the App Store won't let me reinstall because it says I already have Growl installed. Does anyone know how to reinstall an app that the Store thinks you already have installed? I would like to find out if this app is any good.

Sounds like you have an old version on your system. (Growl prefpane as opposed to Growl app)

Download Growl Version Detective from http://growl.info/downloads
and see if that finds anything in the Growl tab. Trash if so.

Next go to Launchpad.app, make sure Growl is not there (if it is, click and hold on the icon until the (x) comes up, click that to remove).

Open up the App Store again. Can you download it now?
