Hi Christian. I do not know the answer to your question. However, your app is clearly trying to display your cur file i.e. the code itself works. Are you sure the cur files are in the correct format with correct background, transparency, colour depth, etc? Can you set the standard Windows cursor to one of your cursors correctly?
