Pull Dynamics CRM 4 customizations without the web UI

Hello Experts,

I seem to have hosed my on-premise dynamics crm application.  The database is fine, but when anyone tries to log in they get the error message below.  I was trying to install and configure the email router, which might have something to do with it.  After fighting it for 24 hours, I want to give up and rebuild the server, but I don't have a recent export of my customizations.  Again, the database is fine, but I don't know how to pull the customization XML export without going through the UI.

1.  Any insight into fixing the server as-is will be awesome.
2.  If not that, can I pull the customizations in such a way that I can restore the server?

Hi grendel777
Just curious to know if my suggestion worked for you?

It turned out to be that I installed the wrong version of the email router.  We had to call MS support and have them walk through some files that had gotten corrupted.  Many thanks!
