XDthedemonXD: I found a way to fix this. (Works on my machine)

1. Close GOG processes in task manager.
2. Go in the storage folder of the the launcher ("C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\storage")
3. Delete/move all the files containing the word "galaxy".
4. Start the launcher normally.
This worked for me as well.
2.0.48.63 has a database rebuild problem. :(
Had to reconfigure the settings (game install dir) and re-add my game library.

This worked for me too, thanks for sharing the method with us. Afterwards I had to import each GOG game's folder/assign non-standard .exe file for every non-GOG game as well, but it wasn't too painful as not many are installed on my computer at the moment.

the only real fix is to not allow their busted update... rebuilding your data locally is just a temp work around to get Galaxy to boot but the app is busted at their end and needs to be fixed at their end, which should have been done long before it got to this point
I also was able to get the program to launch by doing the above steps, but the cost is too high as I have tons of games installed. I shouldn't have updated. Really disappointed this was allowed to be deployed like this.

You dont need to delete the whole folder. It is enough, when you delete / move the galaxy-2.0.db.
Fix that worked for me I found on

I've found a way to fix the issue but it may be too technical for some

You will need a SQLite editor, found on [url]https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/[/url]
OR
https://sqlitebrowser.org

1. First, make sure GoG Galaxy is completely shut down. It should not show up in Task Manager.
2. Next, backup galaxy-2.0.db (it should be in %ProgramData%\GOG.com\Galaxy\storage ) (if you see a db-shm and a db-wal file Galaxy is still running.)
3. Open a copy of the galaxy-2.0.db in the SQLite editor. Click on the "Execute SQL" tab (or locate a similar function if it's not the same editor).

Paste this in the execute SQL window and run it. This will set the install dates for today instead of what they actually are. (Paste this entire block in at once):

INSERT INTO ProductConfiguration(ProductID,createdAt)
SELECT productID, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
FROM InstalledBaseProducts
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM ProductConfiguration WHERE InstalledBaseProducts.productID = ProductConfiguration.productID);

4. If it completes without any errors you should write changes and exit the editor. (If you see a db-shm and a db-wal file your SQLite editor is still running.)
5. You can now copy the updated .db back into the "%ProgramData%\GOG.com\Galaxy\storage"
6. GoG Galaxy should start ok now.

This SQL query will show you any missing information from the ProductConfiguration table for installed games (if it doesn't return any rows, this table is fine):

SELECT productID
FROM InstalledBaseProducts
WHERE productID NOT IN
(SELECT productID
FROM ProductConfiguration);

I had been getting this error for the past couple of days. I just now downloaded and installed GOG Galaxy over my previous install. I had to make sure GOG Galaxy was not running but no problem there. No more issues and I can now open GOG Galaxy.
I'm having exactly the same problem after the update. I'm hoping they'll put out a fix?
They just released a hotfix today. After installing, everything seems to be working again.
The launcher starts again, but in the overview site the "Installed" folder is empty now... how do I connect this again?
I would say new installing, right? :/
