I guess I would have just written !is_wow_64_process but your code is OK if you
prefer that.

Don't care much.  Changed.

+    return WOW64_DISABLED;
+  BOOL is_wow64 = FALSE;
+  if (!(*is_wow64_process)(handle, &is_wow64))
+    return WOW64_UNKNOWN;
+  return is_wow64 ? WOW64_ENABLED : WOW64_DISABLED;
