if(hFile==NULL)

    hFile = CreateFile(CurrentPath,GENERIC_READ,0,NULL,OPEN_EXISTING,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,NULL);

Hello!

The code above is failing randomly (sometimes it works perfectly, other times it reports "hFile Failed!"). I don't quite understand why it fails at times.

Perhaps I should use C-libraries for opening the current process's file?

Perhaps someone knows a more reliable solution?

Again all I'm trying to do is open the local file of the current process I'm in.

Thank you!
