                            "hmi_name": "HMI03",
                            "hmi_ip": "192.168.1.3",

                        {
                            "hmi_name": "HMI04",
                            "hmi_ip": "192.168.1.4",
                            "ini_file_path": "\\D$\\Fujianto\\code_csharp\\Check_HMI_Version\\INTOUCH.INI"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            }
        ]
    }

   Note: The INTOUCH.INI file is actually located in the Network Application Development (NAD) directory.

2. If you want to run the application on a 32-bit platform, modify the Check_HMI_Version.csproj and add the code <PlatformTarget>x86</PlatformTarget>, for example:

   <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
   
     <PropertyGroup>
         <!-- Other project properties -->
         <PlatformTarget>x86</PlatformTarget>
     </PropertyGroup>
   
   </Project>
