Can't seem to download the new 1.6 version

Could use some help/advice. I have bought several of my school books that are in DRM'd ebook format. Anyway this morning when I tried to open a book with DE 1.5 I get a pop up about there being a new version of Digital editions and am given the choice to either close DE 1.5 or upgrade it. If I click the upgrade option nothing happens. Went to the website for digital editions and there is a button for launching the upgrade but when I click that it just trys to open DE 1.5 and I get the same pop-up window. I cant seem to find any way to get past this point. I called TS and got bounced around for over an hour and one person suggested I simply uninstall 1.5 and then go to the dl page and install 1.6 but am worried I'll loose my paid for school books , which were not cheap.Is there some way to safely save my books, I see I do have a folder on my doc's folder called "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Digital Editions\ebx_backup" but not sure if thats all I would need or are there some other files I should also copy to ensure 1.6 can open my books? Went ahead and did send a trouble ticket to TS & am waiting now to hear from TS in case they have another sugestion. In the alternative does anyone have a download link for the update file so I can do it on my own as is outlined in the KB article for Vista install issues?

Until this is fixed, another way of installing 1.6:
Since the flash object used for detection is 'not reliable', it detects the presense of 1.5, and gives you the option of launching. When you launch it, the software wants you to upgrade.
Going circles ?
Uninstall 1.5, and then go to ths install page again. Now, it will give you the option of 'Install'.
Note: You will not lose your eBooks, if you uninstall 1.5. if you want to be safe, go to My Digital Editions folder on yoru comp (or search for files with .epub extn ), and then backup the files in there..
