Ini file problem

I am repackaging using adminstudio 8.6.

1) I have taken capture of legacy applicaiton.
2) In the capture were one ini file.
3) In, InstallShield editor, before builing the msi, I moved ini file to ini view.
4) Changed all the hardcoded paths to Properties, [Directory Identifiers]
5) build the MSI
5) Got validation error - ICE 03 Invalid format string; Table: IniFile, Column: Value, Key(s): Command1 ice03.html IniFile
6) Actually in one section, one of the key has value as - [FileNew .Template="Normal", .NewTemplate = 0]
7) This value is necesary for the the applicaiton to work on target machine
😎 MSI thinks [FileNew .Template="Normal", .NewTemplate = 0] as property and treis to resolve and cannot find it resulting the value of the key being blank in the ini installed on target machine.
How do I make the validaiton error go, so that - I get the same functinality and without moving the ini in file table, I don't want to change the validation table to make error go away ,

tried creating a property as [FileNew .Template="Normal", .NewTemplate = 0] in property table but got the same results

Please help
