You need to pass the full path as filename parameter.

I know. I've already tried that.

Try this one:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main() 
{
  UINT value = 265;
  const char filename[] = "C:\\Temp\\Test.ini";
  ofstream dest(filename);
  
  if (!dest)
  {
    perror("Error creating file: ");
    return -1;
  }
  dest << "[Settings]" << "\n";
  dest << "Key=" << value;

  dest.close();

  UINT actual = GetPrivateProfileIntA("Settings", "Key", 0, filename);
  if (actual != value)
  {
    cout << "Win error: " << GetLastError() << "\n\n";
  }
  else
  {
    cout << "Key = " << actual << "\n\n";
  }
  system("pause");
  return 0;
}

Either change the filename on line 10 or create a folder C:\\Temp
