Describe the bug
When using DetourCreateProcessWithDllEx from a 32-bit process to create a new process, while pointing lpDllName at a 64-bit DLL, strange failures occur.
I assumed that, because DetourCreateProcessWithDllEx auto-chooses the correct bitness for injection, I'd be safe to always pass the 64-bit DLL name into it.
However, that's not true (and a close read of the documentation confirms this).
Still, it would be great to either warn in the documentation about this, and/or improve the handling of this in DetourCreateProcessWithDllEx - either also auto-choose the correct bitness if parent-bitness==child-bitness, or return an error.
