Detect when another program tries to run an exe file that does not exist

[ESPUser]

Hello everyone,

I looked around using search and google and found many examples to monitor file events, but they all just monitor if a file is created, removed or changed.

I need to know when a program tries to open c:\test\mytool.exe and the file mytool.exe does not exist (similar to sysinternals filemon/process monitor).

In this case my program should document the missing file.

Anyone got an idea how this can be done?

Thanks!

OK, i tried a lot of things, but was not able to find a solution, so i gave up on this.

I was able to solve my Problem in a different way, but i am still wondering it is possible.
