I don't know what's included in the PragProg installer for 
INI file manipulation, but here's an alternative:

- inifiles.rb
You can download this file from the page below (though it's in 
Japanese, you can see the link shown as "inifiles.rb".):

http://homepage1.nifty.com/a_nakata/ruby/

This utilizes Windows API for INI file manipulation via WIN32API.

Hope this helps,

Takashi
