This is not a good solution, it uses a terrible and an obsolete COM API.
Instead I would recommend using any managed .NET library, there are few of them (some are listed in 'Solution 1'), you can easily find them on NuGet by looking at INI tag.
Also if anyone is interested, here is my C# implementation of INI file library.
