GetPrivateProfileString in Vista -

Hi there.
Our VB6 application runs well on XP.
Now one of our client has upgraded to Vista.
He said that he has managed to install and run our application on Vista. But seems that program can't pick up the old settings by GetPrivateProfileString function (the settings are stored into text file by WritePrivateProfileString in XP, he has transfered the file from old PC ).
Unfortunately we don't have to chance to test our program under Vista.
Can anyone confirm that these functions work in Vista?
Thanks very much.
