And since I'm generally fuzzy and unclear in my first reply:

Of course, ev.u.LoadDll.lpBaseOfDll is not the mapping *object*, but the
mapping *address*.  So you neither have to call CreateFileMapping nor
MapViewOfFile.  Just call GetMappedFileNameW (get_child (ev.dwProcessId),
ev.u.LoadDll.lpBaseOfDll, ...)


Sorry,
Corinna
