Your example did not produce an error. Do not use getlasterror() like that
with this API.
It will not produce the results you expect. Instead check for the return
value of the function
If the return value is 0, then SHGetFileInfo has failed.

As an example put an inexistant path such as "c:\\skjijoiiudbasjduafod".
SHGetFileInfo
will then return 0, and you can catch this error simply with an if
statement:

  SHFILEINFO FileInfo;

  unsigned long h = SHGetFileInfo("c:\\skjijoiiudbasjduafod",
                                                     0, &FileInfo,
sizeof(FileInfo), SHGFI_ICON);

   // Correct way of detecting an error
   if (!h)
      ShowMessage("SHGetFileInfo Error");
   else
      ShowMessage("handle = " + String(h));
