Hello Luigi,

It seems that you've hit a problem that the move from 16 bit wchat to 32 bit wchar caused.

You need to convert the strings into WCHARS (16 bits) in order for CreateProcessW to work.

You can check my PtyProcess class (ln 53-90) to see how to -hopefully- solve this issue for both cmdline and env strings.

Best regards,
