fork/chroot equivalent for Windows server application

Question

I have written a small custom web server application in C running on Linux. When the application receives a request it calls fork() and handles the request in a separate pro

Answer 1

Using fork/chroot is simply not how things are done on Windows. If you are concerned about security in subprocesses, maybe some form of virtualization or sandboxing is what you want to use. Passing complex information to the subprocess can be done by some form of RPC-solution.

It sounds to me as if you have designed your application in the Unix way, and now you want to run in on Windows without having to change anything. In that case, you may want to consider using Cygwin, but I'm not sure if/how Cygwin emulates chroot.
