Good idea.

CreatePocess takes as first arg the path to the executable. and as
second arg the commandline.  This commandline is what you see in
parsed form in main (int argc, char**argv).  argv[0] is by
convention the name of the program but it is not used to start
create the process.  This is similar to Unix, where you don't have
to parse a commandline to build main's argv but just pass it to
exec(2)

That's "path not found"

Don't know whether this helps.
