I use iniwritestrings and inireadstrings alot in XP and the only time I have
had an issue writing to an ini file is when I do not have modify permissions
over the ini file or file directory. Do you have any other references to ini
file locations in the script that may be making the script point to the
wrong ini file? Maybe specify the ini file location before you do your
iniwrtite string in the script.
Regards
Michael

Is any element of the file path longer than 8 characters, or does any
element contain spaces? Those can cause trouble with the Run function under
XP. The workaround is to quote the string, or to express it in short name
format. I don't know enough about the ini functions to say whether the same
caveat applies.
