Pass a PROCESS_INFORMATION structure to CreateProcess (in order to get the hProcess for the process you created) and then use GetExitCodeProcess[1]. You can use WaitForSingleObject passing hProcess to it if you need to block until the process has actually terminated or you can loop on GetExitCodeProcess until the result is not equal to STILL_ACTIVE.
