FFI on windows and handles

I keep hitting an issue of getting a windows error code of 6, which is invalid handle on windows. Are there any extra steps that I'm missing that I need to do for invoking windows APIs with deno FFI that is maybe undocumented?. I can get this to work in other languages, but FFI/interop uses different types. so its not a 1:1 translation.

code is trying to determine if process is elevated/privileged.

the following should be run with deno run -A --unstable-ffi ./main.ts

will have to split over multiple posts due to discord limits

const kernel32 = Deno.dlopen("kernel32.dll", {
    GetCurrentProcess: { parameters: [], result: "pointer" },
    CloseHandle: { parameters: ["pointer"], result: "i32" },
    GetLastError: { parameters: [], result: "i32" }
