First, always save actions as .atn documents to recover in the future. 
Since you didn't, it may still be possible to locate them. Search for Actions Palette.psp ideally before the update! 
Copy Actions Palette.psp from your old backup and replace Actions Palette.psp in your current \Documents and Settings\ folder. May work.

You might be able to find the various assets in the old directories/folders or via Time Machine:
