Unable to get Capture to read master capture.ini file

I am trying to set up a master capture.ini file that points to the CIS database and various corporate libraries.  So far, I have not been able to get it to work.  I have added the registry entry MasterSettingsFile to point to it.  I have it in a CDS_SITE defined in my environment.  None of these have worked.  The only way I can read it is to add the /i <path to capture.ini> to the target of my OrCAD icon, but it has to be writable otherwise I get an error, and, for obvious reasons, I need it to read only for multiple users.

 With each of the above settings, OrCAD always defaults to the install capture.ini.

 Any ideas?
