OK now Application Manager is telling me that there is a newer version than 8.9.0

If this happens to anyone else, this was the solution:
(via Pilot and AndrewAction)
1. Upgraded my RAM so that I had at LEAST 6gb (in my case, I went from 4gb to 16gb)
2. Uninstalled "First" totally, by clicking on the START menu and typing 'apps & features' then clicking the top option - "Apps & Features SYSTEM SETTINGS". Then clicking MEDIA COMPOSER FIRST and choosing UNINSTALL. Once this was finished, I uninstalled the other two items labelled Avid (App Manager and the Cloud Services)
3. I downloaded the latest version of the full Media Composer 8.9 to the root of my C:\ drive
4. I unzipped to a folder at the root of my c:/ drive
5. I installed the full version of Media Composer
6. Rebooted
7. Opened the Avid Application Manager then Preferences and clicked the Clear Cache button.
8. Uninstalled Media Composer - by clicking on the START menu and typing 'apps & features' then clicking the top option - "Apps & Features SYSTEM SETTINGS". Then clicking MEDIA COMPOSER and choosing UNINSTALL. Once this was finished, I uninstalled the other two items labelled Avid (App Manager and the Cloud Services)
9. Rebooted
10. Downloaded the latest Media Composer First to the root of my C:/ drive
11. I unzipped to a folder at the roof of my c:/ drive
12. I installed Media Composer First
13. Rebooted
14. Opened the APP MANAGER
15. Clicked on ACCOUNT tab and signed in
16. Checked that in the ACCOUNT tab it says "Media Composer | First" then 'Perpetual'
17. Clicked the APPS tab
18. Checked that next to 'Media Composer | First' there is blue text saying 'Open' - THIS WAS NOT THERE WHEN THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH INSTALLATION, FYI
19. Clicked the blue text saying 'open'
