Knime restart failure after update: java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "" could not be found in the registry

I just updated to 5.8.2 and received an install error. When I tried to resume the install, I saw that the Knime AI extension was the only one that hadn’t succeeded, selected it again, but then after the install completed, knime wouldn’t start. Instead it gave me an error message:

Now I’m out of ideas. Can someone please help?
