Try a search? Let's use that second error code.
It looks like a decimal number but I suspect it is also signed.
E.g. was there a minus sign (hyphen) in front of it where you found it?
Somebody else today actually had the unsigned version of the same code
somehow. Here is how I replied to them:

Try a search? First it helps to convert that code which is obviously
decimal but apparently not signed decimal (as they usually are) to hex.
E.g. Run... calc.exe set it to operate in Scientific mode (Alt-V,S)
paste (or type) your code into its input box and press F5.
Also since the resulting hex string might be misinterpreted as decimal
itself and since we want all instances of it interpreted as a hex string
anyway search also for that computed hex value prefixed by 0x.

Google Groups search for
(2147942402 OR 80070002 OR 0x80070002) (MSFT OR MVP) group:microsoft.public.windowsupdate
)
Good luck
