Doh, sorry, didn't realize that.

My point was that using INVALID_FILE_SIZE as intended by the system *ensures*
that you may never potentially mis-write or mis-modify 0xffffffff.

And yes, I had a look at the MSDN page, incidentially that's exactly why
I was commenting on it since I knew how horrible GetFileSize() is...
And it appears your code was (almost) right indeed, minus the problem that
you're calling GetLastError() after CloseHandle() (which will also modify
last error on failure).
But you probably intended to call CloseHandle() before the check in order
to avoid an extra CloseHandle() in the code...

Argh, whoever doesn't hate this particular API please raise your hands now...

Thanks for your work!
