ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

A parameter was invalid.

ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION

The file is in use.
Note:
Earlier versions of Windows Embedded CE assigned object identifiers to objects in other file systems, such as the file allocation table (FAT) file system. These object identifiers were guaranteed to be unique within a volume, but not across multiple volumes. Effective with version 3.0, only objects in the object store have valid, unique object identifiers and the object store is the only volume that can return an object identifier.
