Internally, TRegIniFile reads and writes values as strings only.  Since the
value is actually REG_DWORD and not REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ, ReadString()
can't read it properly, thus the error.

Why are you using TRegIniFile to begin with?  It should only be used for
porting legacy code that originally used TIniFile.  In the code you showed,
you should use TRegistry instead:

    std::auto_ptr<TRegistry> registry(new TRegistry);
    registry->RootKey =  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;

   int value = 0;

    if(
registry->OpenKeyReadOnly("SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\XXXXXX\\Enum
") )
    {
        if( registry->ValueExists("Count" ) )
            value = registry->ReadInteger("Count");
        registry->CloseKey();
    }
