Hi Meinolf,

Thanks for your reply.

Below is the code segment where I spawn a new process in my
application:

=== code start

STARTUPINFO si;
SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES sa;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
memset ((void*)&si, 0, sizeof (STARTUPINFO));
memset ((void*)&sa, 0, sizeof (SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES));
memset ((void*)&pi, 0, sizeof (PROCESS_INFORMATION));
sa.nLength = sizeof sa;
sa.lpSecurityDescriptor = NULL;
sa.bInheritHandle = TRUE;
si.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);
si.dwFlags = STARTF_USESTDHANDLES | STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
si.lpDesktop = "";
si.wShowWindow = SW_HIDE;
CreateProcess (NULL, cmd, NULL, NULL, TRUE,
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS | CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE,
NULL, NULL, &si, &pi);
=== code end

CreateProcess() returns true, but the new process was never started.
However, a valid process handle is stored in the pi.hProcess field.
Calling

WaitForSingleObject (pi.hProcess, INFINITE);

returns immediately and the process return code (obtained by calling
GetExitCodeProcess()) is 128 (ERROR_WAIT_NO_CHILDREN). There is no
error event in the event log or error message being displayed
anywhere.

Given the information I've in hand, I believe I'm experiencing the
problem described in the kb article, but only my app has that problem
when running on some Windows 2000/2003 machines. Hence, that leads to
the questions in my first post.

Thanks
-Kin
