Illustrator 2014.2 with Esko plugins crashes on launch

Question

I "accidentally" installed the 2014.2 update of the CC apps. Since then, Illustrator crashes on launch saying "An unexpected error occurred (4294967188)..." and quits. I have the common Esko plugins installed (Studio, Dynamic Content, Studio Visualizer) Packaging designers - be aware - don't update to 2014.2 !!! I am going to switch to a different Mac running 2014.1 - and remember not to ever change a running system. This, my friends, seems to be the only solution. I faced so many problems with CC in the past few weeks and months making it nearly impossible to keep business running. I really have to say that I am absolutely disappointed by Adobe, its policy - focusing on everything that is touchable - that shiny, pinky IOS touchy apps and forgetting about us professionals, who once relied on a stable platform that was called Apple+Adobe (and worked really fine, several decades ago)

Monika, to be honest I really don't know, but I even didn't think about that as it was a "sub level" update, not something going from Illustrator CC to Illustrator CC 2014. But this doesn't seem to be an issue any more. After a few hours of sleep I decided to uninstall and re-install CC 2014. I was very surprised about the fact that there was no sign of an available update to Illustrator CC 2014.2 any longer (only Illustrator CC 2014.1). I definitively swear that a few hours before I installed an update of that version AI CC 2014.2, and even now there is no sign of that version. Is there anyone out there who can confirm that there was an AI CC 2014.2 update available (obviously only for a very short period of time, maybe withdrawn?!) Nevertheless - everything works fine so far with a clean re-install of AI CC 2014.1 - as long as there is no AI CC 2014.2 in sight!
