The _invoke method takes an array of values and an array of types. Your
interesting ObjectSpace array looks like the array of values you might get
back if you gave _invoke the dispid of the method, ["notepad",nil,nil,nil],
and the types. But you can't reflect on Create or other Win32_Process
methods to get that dispid or those types.
This is only a partial answer, but for some situations, the win32-utils
project and win32-process in particular may prove an adequate replacement
for this function. win32-process provides Process.create which wraps Win32's
CreateProcess() and returns a PID. It gives you fork (more or less), wait
and kill as well.
Cheers,
Dave
