Hello Erik,
there seems to be an important peace of software missing in your System Library. Check if it is really missing by opening your Library.
Activate the Finder, from the Finder Menu select "GO" -> "Go to Folder"  and enter: "/Library/Frameworks"
In the Finder Window that appears navigate to /PluginManager.framework/Versions and check if the Subfolder "B" exists and contains the current PluginManager. If it is not there, you need to reinstall it.
If you have a Time Machine Backup of your System, restore it like this:
drag the System Library Folder to your Sidebar for easy access,
then activate Time Machine, with your Library Folder still open
go back in time till you find the missing frame work and restore it.
I hope this will work; if you cannot restore the framework from a backup, then you will have to reinstall your system.
Good Luck
