Hi @Tian ,

Since the problem is related to MadMilkman.Ini library which is a third-party library, it is recommended that you post the problem on it's github issues.

To post code use the "code" function; so it's unreadable. And you post contains to less (non) information, please add more details.

Did you do all of the following?

(1) Download the prebuilt dll for MadMilkman.Ini or the complete ZIP package.
(2) Run the installer for the prebuilt extension - the .msi file.
(3) Add a Reference to the Extension to your project. See Pic1.
(4) Verify that the extension is in the project references. See Pic2.

Go to the product github page.

https://github.com/MarioZ/MadMilkman.Ini
Click on the green button.
Select Download ZIP
Extract the contents.
Run the msi file to install the extension.
If you don't want to install it, then extract the dll file from
the embedded MadMilkman.Ini.zip file. Add the dll to the
references in your project.

You will have to manually extract the Help file as well, if you don't run the msi installer.
