Propblem with TerminateProcess
in [Win32 Kernel]

From: Emil Dotchevski on 4 Feb 2010 22:00 I was hoping that someone would tell me why my program isn't working. Do I do something wrong? Did I miss something in the documentation? Is this a bug in XP? (again, the code works on Vista/7) Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode
From: Alexander Grigoriev on 4 Feb 2010 23:19 Do you want to terminate fully initialized processes? Then you won't have the problem. I think it only occurs if the process is terminated before it's fully initialized.

CreateProcess(szProgram, NULL,,,, <-- SPAWN CreateProcess(NULL, szProgram,,,, <-- SHELL In a SHELL, you are actually running the COMSPEC and you may not have to have complete control over the return code. In a SPAWN, it is direct and you have better control over the return code. In your case, you have a file with an INF extension, hence you have to use a SHELL here to allow windows to do a file association. That means you have a middle program and that would be the return code, if any. So that is the first thing to look at if you want better control of spawned processes and obtaining a return value. -- HLS

The child process will be in both cases what you pass as szProgram and will be a direct child process of the calling process (the process that calls CreateProcess). -- S
