 * \param ProcessHandle Handle to the process to write the CONTEXT. (32bit only)
 * \param Context A pointer to a buffer within which to initialize a CONTEXT structure.
 * \param Parameter Optional parameter passed to the thread start routine.
 * \param InitialPc Initial instruction pointer (thread start routine).
 * \param InitialSp Initial stack pointer.
 * \return On 32bit, returns the status of NtWriteVirtualMemory. On 64bit, returns a constant value (0xf0e0d0c0a0908070).
 * \remarks The return value on 64bit systems is not an NTSTATUS; callers should ignore it.
