I have been studying a complex programming problem for a while now. Finally, I have devised a very simple solution, however...

I need to patch two functions in Kernel32.DLL but I need the patch to apply to a single process - this is absolutely essential since it could adversely affect other programs. It seems likely to me that this is possible for development and testing but I have been unable to find useful information on how to create and install any sort of hotpatch.

For my own purposes, I think I may be able to manage using non-standard methods, but a single-process hotpatch would be enormously useful to other programmers that have been wrestling with the same problem (and there are a lot out there).

Since installing hotpatches is a System Admin job, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
