Something similar has happened before.  Perhaps this thread (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=15776&boardid=17&sid=7767ec9832497c27576a7b8c2ccac58d) might be of some help to you...?  It sounds like pretty much the same thing.

In summary, close the updater GUI, but leave the DOS windows open.  There was some file used by the updater interface that was trying to update so it broke itself...or something like that.  Sort of a catch-22 situation.

Though I tried closing the GUI window, I still can\'t update. If I just close the window, everything else is closed too and nothing happens.

Is there any other thing I can do?

Dashiel, try running the Updater (recovery console).  I haven\'t tried it for this problem, myself, but I\'m sure it wouldn\'t hurt.
What it does is open a DOS window only.  Aside from that, I truthfully don\'t know the difference.

You\'re sure you\'re not accidentally closing the DOS window when closing the GUI?

\"...try running the Updater (recovery console)...\"
...erm... I\'m not quite shure what you mean with this... :(

And yes, I\'m shure I closed the right window. I tried updating several times on different days and it still isn\'t working. ;)

As to whether that works for this type of situation, I don\'t know.

Thanks, but this option does not exist. I\'m afraid I haven\'t updated to get this option... :(
