Resolution
A. Make sure that the virtual application is still installed in the current user profile
B. If the /allusers flag was used to register the application, use it in the un-registration as well. eg:
path\to\SpoonReg.exe /allusers path\to\app.exe
path\to\SpoonReg.exe /allusers /unregister path\to\app.exe
C. Verify that the path to the virtual application executable is correct

Cause
This error can typically mean one of three things:
- The application is not installed on the current user profile
- The application was installed to the All Users profile instead of the current user's profile
- The path to the virtual application executable file is wrong
