Serviio no longer works at all after 1.6.2

As a follow up to a previous message, Serviio no longer works at all!
1.5.2 would not let me install over the later crappy version 1.6.2, so I had to uninstall Serviio completely.
After a clean reinstall of 1.5 2 and restoration of my library I got an error message 500 which wouldn't let me use my previous library settings. Tried starting the library again from scratch but still had the error and the files showed a mix of metadata (which I never use) with an incomplete list. Forcing a library update just kept giving me the 500 error.
Another uninstall and re-install of Serviio, but this time decided I would have to manually set it up again from scratch: if only...
First I got a missing node.dll error. As I couldn't find this file anywhere on my existing system, nor my previous backup,I assumed it was never needed and unstallled and re-installled again.
This time no node.dll error but a missing /jre file.
Updated Java 32 and 64 bit to latest versions, but still the error.
Uninstalled Java completely and reinstalled the latest 32 and 64 bit versions. Still the error.
Uninstalled and re-installed Serviio and the java error no longer shows, but a new error message stating the Serviio service is not running.
When I manually start the service it stops again after a couple of seconds. Cannot run the Serviio console using the bat file either.
I think the substantial changes made in 1.6.2 have screwed up my Serviio for good. I have changed nothing on my system but now Serviio will not work at all. So much for progress. Another 6 hours wasted on crappy software.
If it worked before 1.6.2 why doesn't it now work with 1.5.2 or has 1.6.2 now made it impossible for me to go back?
Anyone know of how I can get Serviio working again - properly as it used to before I was duped into installing the crappy 1.6.2.

Re: Serviio no longer works at all after 1.6.2

You might start by doing a clean install of 1.6.1
When you can't even get the version right, people are not incented to help you since the help depends on accurate information about your situation.
Others including me have updated from 1.5.2 to 1.6.1 without problems.
