Before Google was flooded with terrible search results, it was easy finding out what every Windows error code meant. Now the top answers are usually paid-content garbage instructing you to run Windows Update, sfc /scannow, or perform a clean reinstall.

This is useless advice, since you just installed from a custom ISO.

If you have some Windows background, try the Error Lookup Tool. While it doesn't explain the reason behind the error, it prints the right error message to investigate.

0x80070002 -> FILE_NOT_FOUND

Corerror.h came up with .net framework possibly

Dinput.h came up with directx possibly

I just put the files into Google search so take it with a grain of salt. Maybe the other ones will also give you a sense of direction.
 
The error codes are known because they're from the Windows standard libraries. All this tool does is search for the matching error messages.
The first 4 digits in the 8-digit number may be different, but the key part is the last 4 digits.
