Well, yeah....from help...
"If this parameter is NULL, GetModuleFileName returns the path for the
file used to create the calling process."

So, dllhost is the file that _created_ the calling process.
IOW, NULL asks "Who made me" not "Who am I".

What you seem to want is the name of the file of the calling process,
so you should pass the handle of the calling process instead of NULL.
