This is expected.  CreateProcess creates a separate Virtual Machine
and runs the program inside that VM.  You need to arrange for the LFN
driver to be loaded in that VM as well.

Try creating a batch file which loads the LFN driver and then runs
your *real* application.  Then launch that batch file by calling
CreateProcess to run it via cmd.exe.
