Unable to inject c++ dll into target process
I am working on a c++ project where i need to inject our DLL into a target process. I am able to inject our dll in some of the target processes however i am not able to inject it fully into the target process. So the functionality of target process is not working at full.
I have took the refrence for injection methods from https://github.com/stephenfewer/ReflectiveDLLInjection.

I have tried to put the above method in our DLL and other rest of the code while trying to load this dll in the target process some of the exes are not getting injected by this code ?
Can you suggest what i am doing wrong here ?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 for this.
c++
visual-studio-2010
dll-injection
