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.

Hello Oblivion,

thanks a lot for the answer. In fact

Vector<WCHAR> cmd = ToSystemCharsetW(commandline);
cmd.Add(0);

did the trick and converted the command line. I was not aware of this change, or I had not realised it could affect me.
Now I understand why on my production machine I had not this issue. There I had an U++ distro pre April 2022!

Thanks again!
Luigi
