I ran into the same problem. After multiple installation attempts it finally worked. So just try again.

Remove Lightning via Add-on Manager and close Thunderbird. Delete the folder C:\Users\jeff\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\6wxehepw.default\extensions\staged. Download Lightning from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/lightning/ and install it again.
