CreateProcess doesn't pass command line arguments

Question

Hello I have the following code but it isn\'t working as expected, can\'t figure out what the problem is.

Basically, I\'m executing a process (a .NET process) and pa

Below is a cut down version of the code used by the Zeus IDE to run external processes:

bool createProcess(const char *pszTitle, const char *pszCommand)
{
  STARTUPINFO StartInfo;

  memset(&StartInfo, 0, sizeof(StartInfo));

  StartInfo.cb      = sizeof(StartInfo);
  StartInfo.lpTitle = (pszTitle) ? (char *)pszTitle : (char *)pszCommand;

  StartInfo.wShowWindow = SW_NORMAL;
  StartInfo.dwFlags    |= STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;

  if (CreateProcess(0, (char *)pszCommand, 
                    0, 0, TRUE,
                    CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP, 0, 0, 
                    &StartInfo, &ProcessInfo))
  {
    lErrorCode = 0;
  }
  else
  {
    lErrorCode = GetLastError();
  }

  return (lErrorCode == 0);
}

The pszCommand would be the full executable path and file name and arguments so for example:

pszCommand = "D:\\email\\smtp.exe name@example.com";

From what I can tell, the only real difference between the two is that in the Zeus example, the dwCreationFlags argument is set to the CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP value.
