I recently upgraded from 10.7.4 to 10.8.1 and noticed Growl 1.4 did not appear to be working (notifications went completely silent). I tried several times to launch Growl.app and nothing happened; I then thoroughly removed the app and all associated files in order to re-install from the AppStore. Now I can't even re-install because the (stupid) AppStore thinks it's still installed when clearly it's not. There is absolutely no trace of any Growl start-up apps, plists, prefs, etc. on my system.

How do I fix this?

I am having this same issue. I have uninstalled several times. There is no Growl.app in my applications folder and can not download again because the app store tells me it's already installed. Stuck in lala land.

Look in your Launchpad on the dock, as sometimes apps don't show in Applications.

It's not in launchpad either.

Grab Growl Version Detective and see where Growl is.

As with Marvin's first screenshot, the detective the 'Growl' screen is blank and the 'Framework' tab only show the detective app not Growl.

Detach your time machine backup drive or any other drives and let's see what happens.

I have my time machine on an external that is not connected. But I did just switch to a dual drive setup, one is SSD. But that wouldn't affect it, would it?
