We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Given that there is no automated way to removed, I manually deleted the LSTC service, and deleted the install directory for LS-DYNA. I'm not sure if there is anything else beyond that (registry entries, etc) which should be removed as well. 

I've attempted fresh installs, but meet with the same error with every attempt to launch the GUI. I've even tried updating the Visual c++ distributable to most current version with no impact.
