${ConfigWrite} bug?
Entry "foo" overwrites "foo_longer" when the entry is above "foo" in the file.At the end there are two "foo" entries with different values.
:mad:

using
${ConfigWrite} "[File]" "[Entry](blank) " "[Value]" $var
solves the problem but creates a problem with a tab/space after entry in file.A tab after entry in file therefore would not be taken as the same entry name.

Any ideas?

That's how ConfigWrite works. [Entry] is searched as is. You must include the separator there as well. In your case, that was a space, I assume.

Please use real examples next time, that was really confusing.

Solved the tab/space problem with a check on the separator.

var separator
!macro InstallEtcServices myEntry myValue
    ClearErrors
    StrCpy $separator " " #space
    ${ConfigRead} "$WINDIR\system32\drivers\etc\services" "${myEntry}    " $R0 #search with tab
    ${If} ${Errors}
         ClearErrors
    ${Else}
        StrCpy $separator "        " #tab
    ${EndIf}
    ${ConfigWrite} "$WINDIR\system32\drivers\etc\services" "${myEntry}$separator" "${myValue}" $R0
...

should be

StrCpy $separator "$\t" #tab
