I moved my App Store Icon into my Trash quite some time ago. I tried to restore it, but haven't been successful. I get this message: "You can't open the application App Store.app because it may be damaged or incomplete." I can't get it back through my Apple icon in upper left. It's not there. I can't find it through Finder. My software is up to date.
My operating system is Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. I don't know if that means I have Snow Leopard or not. I do not want to upgrade to Lion because it will cause previously purchased third-party digital scrapbooking software to quit working. How do I get the App Store Icon back? Everything I can find about getting it seems to be driving me to Lion. I can't even FIND the App Store anymore.
