The particular problem with 0xc0000135 - "The application failed to initialize properly" - is that most references found via Google assert that the problem can be solved by installing the Microsoft .NET framework, but I think that's highly unlikely to be the platform a BOINC science app is built on. It could be caused by a permissions problem, but under the circumstances described my money would be on a missing DLL. I've been trying to look through CElliott's 11,600 or thereabouts errored tasks at SETI Beta, but I haven't found this error yet (a result ID would help). I would also draw readers' attention to http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/forum_thread.php?id=9489 - we seem to have gone through everything from conflicting OpenCL device drivers, to "a problem with the latest BOINC version". A suspiciously high proportion of the reported cases have been reported 'solved' after reverting to BOINC v6.12.34 (like today's installment, at http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/forum_thread.php?id=9592) Going back to the problem of error messages, is there any way we could link the numeric code to the one-line text summary, as we do with BOINC's own error codes? We could do that on web result pages, even if we don't want to bloat the client download with all possible error codes. I'll look for a list.
