Install.rdf file do not exist. Install module fail.

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

I have been happily running Plex Media Server on two N4200ECO NAS, until I received an email from Plex today telling me I have until March 16 (4 days) to upgrade to the latest version or Plex will cease to work. If I try to upgrade using the downloads from the Plex site I get this error

Module will install/upgrade ,please do not reload or close admin UI
2016/03/12 12:29:51: Install.rdf file do not exist.
2016/03/12 12:29:51: Install module fail.

The Plex software I am currently running I sourced from the Thecus Apps download, but this software hasn’t been updated in years and I am on the latest version available from there.

I am also getting this error

Have you tried uninstalling, rebooting the NAS, and then installing the new version? I know it sounds like a pain, but you might try it. I had issues with my N5550 when moving from the Thecus provided version to the Plex provided version- different install paths, etc. The upgrade failed for me and left a mess- I had to SSH in and clean up the old directories before I could reinstall.

I have tried this but it does not work and I have the same problem as well, does anybody else found another solution?
