Windows 10: How to remove an app that throws a missing DLL error when I attempt to remove it.

I have an application installed on my computer, which I had previously used for work purposes.

This application is no longer permissible on my computer however, so on attempt to remove it, with either the 'Apps and Features' menu, as well as the 'Programs and Features' menu, I am informed; There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.'

I need to remove this app, and there is no value remaining in it for me, so it can be bulldozed.

Assistance would be appreciated.


If anyone from Microsoft sees this; There should be additional categories added for the purposes of application resolution in the Microsoft environment

DLL Missing

I actually posted the link for the "list of troubleshooting steps to resolve your boost_threads.dll problems" which is located half way down the page. I did not mean to promote any downloads.

Why don't I just go back and indicate that on my original post? That way there's access to the 'step-by-step' instructions, which are accessed via those green 'plus' signs next to the topics.

If the link still needs to be removed, then let me know

 

ernel32.dll Virus Removal

I've googled this and followed the steps I found to remove it and it still comes back. I can't surf the net because of this Trojan.
I've ran malware bytes and it too can't remove it. I've tried Safe Mode manually deleting it and it still comes back. Right now I'm running super spyware removal to see if it can remove it.

Anyone ever had this or know how to get rid of it?

The virus is on a Laptop running windows xp.
