Problems implementing master capture.ini

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?

    That is correct, but that is not the latest of our documentation.

    http://www.nordcad.dk/download/Teknik/e-service/138/Capture_IniManagement_EN.pdf

    This version would be the latest and most up to data version.

    With a working download so no need to run a installer.

    But there is a batch file to set CDS_SITE and copy out the files.
