Error codes should not be based on suggestions, what you should do is write a small test program under Windows to find out the real codes.
Hopefully, this sort of thing will be easier once we have the testing framework in place. For example, it's difficult for me to run a test program on Windows, because I don't have (an easily accessible) one.
So maybe with the testing framework in place, people can start by submitting a test, waiting for results, and then submitting the implementation. Very XP-ish :), but also rather cool. One would be able to easily test a hypothesis in about 24h on a large number of different Windows versions, configurations, etc.
Once small detail missing: Paul has vanished off the web, so we don't actually have anything to run on the Windows boxes :(
