1) Download the latest version of Uplay from here: https://uplay.ubisoft.com/en-GB . Save it to the PC, but don't install it.
2) Open task manager and kill uplay, if it's running.
3) REBOOT - this is important. On my PC, something was holding some files open and so they couldn't be overwritten.
4) Install the new uplay installer you downloaded.
5) Start uplay.

At that point, it came up and said the game was available. Started it, worked fine.
