Note: As described in the Installshield Help, calling WriteProfString with Null parameters after every use of WriteProfString does seem to have fixed my problem.

Hi
I've used WriteProfString to write INI file entries for years without any problem.
Recently however a customer reported that none of the INI file entries were being written during the install.
When I investigated it seems that the WriteProfileString function is failing.
I can't figure out why this is happening as it works on all other machines that it has been tested on. (I've been unable to reproduce the problem myself)
After some googling I found several references from others who seemed to have had a similar problem. One suggested that it was down to a problem on faster machines, something to do with a buffer not being cleared between different INI strings being written?
Does anyone know anything about this problem?
Thanks
