There is no such thing as fork on Windows. Each new process has it's own address space and is created from an executable. System does not clone the parent.

There are number of things you are not allowed to do on *NIX systems. Messing with other process' memory is one of them. Wine only support few cross-process memory reading/writing operations.
Also the process creation sequence is completely different on Wine comparing to Windows. In fact I'm surprised this code of yours works at all. Number of those things can only be done from the process itself.
