System Error Codes ()
The information on this page is intended to be used by programmers so that the software they write can better
deal with errors. If you are an end-user that is experiencing difficulty with an application you are installing
or running, contact customer support for the software that is displaying the error message. To obtain support
for a Microsoft product, go to
The System Error Codes are very broad. Each one can occur in one of many hundreds of locations in the system.
Consequently the descriptions of these codes cannot be very specific. Use of these codes requires some amount of
investigation and analysis. You need to note both the programmatic and the run-time context in which these errors
occur. Because these codes are defined in WinError.h for anyone to use, sometimes the codes are
returned by non-system software. Sometimes the code is returned by a function deep in the stack and far removed
from your code that is handling the error.
The following list describes
for errors 8200 to 8999. They are
returned by the
function when many functions
fail. To retrieve the description text for the error in your application, use the
function with the
FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag.
