You cannot do this with the Win32 API, that's true. And since the
native msvcrt is implemented on top of the Win32 API, this means that
msvcrt exec functions cannot possibly behave exactly like the Unix
ones.

What you must do is find out the expected behavior of the msvcrt exec,
and implement the same behavior; you should then be able to do this
using the Win32 API, since this is how the native one does it.
