Problems implementing master capture.ini

scottm7

I'm running Allegro Design Entry CIS v16.6-S039 and having problems implementing a master capture.ini file.  I downloaded the CIS admin tool and used SetMasterIniPath.exe.  I've verified that this added a registry key to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cadence Design Systems\MasterSettingsFile.  Note that this is a different location than in the documentation which specifies HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cadence Design Systems\MasterSettingsFile which I've also manually entered into the registry.

My master capture.ini file currently only has a single entry while I experiment as seen below:

[Part Management]
Configuration File=J:\Configuration_Files\CIP-E V5.0 CIS DB.DBC

I expect this entry to replace the existing entry in my capture.ini file located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SPB_Data\cdssetup\OrCAD_Capture\16.6.0 but it does not.  Can anyone help me debug what is wrong?

    Thanks Steve.  I'll try that.  This brings up a different issue though.  I have users in multiple locations around the world.  To eliminate performance problems, I'm implementing database replication.  The main reason I wanted to use a master capture.ini file was to easily reconfigure all of these users to use their local replication server just by clicking on a batch file that would change the registry key to point to the correct mater capture.ini file.  Is there any way to automate loading and configuring this tcl script into Capture or will it have to be done manually on each users PC?
