I think there are some competing philosophies here.  The message you list
isn't intended for the user to see or act upon, because it appears to be
one that you have enabled for debugging purposes.  When not using
app_info.xml, there isn't anything a user can do about such errors.

0xc0000135 one of the Windows error codes for "application failed to start"
which is essentially the same as "unrecoverable error".  The BOINC client
doesn't know why and probably can't give you much help.   In this case it's
probably because you there's something wrong with your app_info.xml.  Or
maybe there's something wrong with one of the binaries or libraries.  Check
the stderr files in the project and or slot directories for help,
