What is the handle returned by FindExecutable API?

[pcwc66]

Hi,

I hope someone can explain to me what is the handle returned by the FindExecutable API. When I execute the API, I always get 42 as the handle. What does the 42 means?


Thank you.

It's not a true handle. It's just a type cast of HINSTANCE for backward compatibility (16 bit).

The important point is:
if the value return greater than 32 means successful
