Re: use CreateProcessA in Unicode mode

THis is more than a little weird...I would think it is downright stupid. How do I know
the process I'm launching is or is not a Unicode process? It could be one today and the
other tomorrow, for that matter...

If you're using Tstrings correctly then you need to take extra care with the
environment that you create for the subprocess. If your process is running
in ANSI mode and you create an ANSI environment for the subprocess then it
seems that your call is correct. If your process is running in Unicode mode
and you create a Unicode environment for the subprocess then you must
include the CREATE_UNICODE_ENVIRONMENT flag in the sixth parameter.

(A friendlier design would have defaulted this flag to match the calling
process's mode. If the calling process wanted to do the opposite then it
could set either CREATE_UNICODE_ENVIRONMENT or CREATE_ANSI_ENVIRONMENT as
needed. Well, we don't have this design and we don't have
CREATE_ANSI_ENVIRONMENT. Or at least we don't have a documented one.)

Hi all,

How to use CreateProcessA in Unicode mode? i am building project in
Unicode mode, so CreateProcessW is used, but have problem on Vista. if i
build project in None-Unicode mode, then CreateProcessA is used, and it
work well on Vista.

So i want to keep my project in Unicode mode, and CreateProcessA is used
in this mode.
