Comment (by Phyx-):

 I've only seen this Ticket today, but the exit code has been bugging me.
 Getting a 127 on a SEH error is odd.

 Building the files I was able to re-produce the error using a fresh Win
 2008 R2 VM.

 However running the application outside of a console or using
 dependencywalker that 127 became clear. I was missing the proper visual
 c++ runtime file. Hence the 127 which is usually "missing command" or
 "missing file".

 Can you try running dependency walker to see if you have any missing
 dependencies? Installing the proper VCRedist solved the first problem for
 me and the application then threw an unhandled exception resulting in a
 APPLICATION_FAULT_SEHOP and another crash. but the first part of the
 result is written. I have issues remote debugging on the VM so I didn't
 look further into this.

 I currently get:

 {{{
 PS E:\> .\TestExceptions.exe
 Called foo() with bar=0
 PS E:\>
 }}}
