Same problem here... plugged my GameEx box into the network for the first time in months and made the mistake of accepting the upgrade - working install instantly went to non-working install.
I've tried re-installing all the pre-req's from the links provided on the Downloads page - still no good.
Log file is useless as the last thing it shows is the shutdown for the automatic update.
Is there a way to download older versions of GameEx - not sure what I was running but I don't think I've updated in at least a year.
This is the error I am getting:
