Windows API - CreateProcess() path with space

Question

How do I pass path with space to the CreateProcess() function?

The following works

STARTUPINFO si;
            PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;

            Z

Your 3rd snippet is the correct one, not sure why you have trouble. Having the GetLastError() return value would be valuable here. Do note however that the 2nd argument of CreateProcess is an LPTSTR, not an LPCTSTR. In other words, Windows can write back to the string. Pretty creepy, isn't it? Enough reason perhaps to use ShellExecuteEx() instead.
