The process terminated

But what is the meaning of the exceptions E0434F4D.COM, E0000001, and 80040155?

Answer 1

Those numbers are exception codes and can eg be used in WinDbg to handle exceptions (command is sxe ).

• E0434F4D is a .NET exception

  The characters .COM are the ASCII representation of the error code (output from WinDbg):

   0:017> .formats e0434f4d Evaluate expression: ... Chars: .COM 

• 80040155 looks like a HRESULT (output from WinDbg):

   0:017> !error 80040155 Error code: (HRESULT) 0x80040155 (2147746133) - Interface not registered
