boost_iostreams.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like boost_iostreams.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like 7za.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Adobe Captivate) could share the same boost_iostreams.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when boost_iostreams.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Adobe Captivate is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common boost_iostreams.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - boost_iostreams.dll.
- boost_iostreams.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2017 (32 Bit)\boost_iostreams.dll.
- Cannot register boost_iostreams.dll.
- Cannot start Adobe Captivate. A required component is missing: boost_iostreams.dll. Please install Adobe Captivate again.
- Failed to load boost_iostreams.dll.
- The application has failed to start because boost_iostreams.dll was not found.
- The file boost_iostreams.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because boost_iostreams.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your boost_iostreams.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Adobe Captivate), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, boost_iostreams.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Adobe Captivate, system crash while loading boost_iostreams.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
