Error numbers that are returned by Windows API calls often appear as very large negative numbers. To give meaning to these numbers, convert them to hexadecimal values like this:
PS> $errornumber = -2146828235
PS> '0x{0:x}' -f $errornumber
0x800a0035
To find out the reason for such an error, when you now search for the hexadecimal value, chances are much higher that you find a match.
