AutoCAD 2010

All,
I have been trying for the last few days to create a layer of AutoCAD 2010. I am trying to do a network install (the install points AutoCAD to a license server). When I start the software capture my virtual machine restarts after about a minute. I dug through the layer and I found that the reason the install failed is that because it could not contact the license server.
After some testing I finally discovered that the install works just fine using a Global Capture. Any ideas why this won't work using a single program capture?

Try capturing CMD.exe
I usually capture c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe and then run the install from there. Try that if the Global capture gets too much extra stuff.

Matt, I tried that...still
Matt,
I tried that...still no luck.

And...the global capture
And...the global capture didn't work. When I imported the layer to a new machine it wouldn't work...
so here's what I know about
so here's what I know about Autocad.
There are three prereques it needs:
1) Direct X
2) .Net 3.5
3) Visual C++ 2005 Runtime
I install all three of those to the base for a capture even though .Net is the only one that won't capture on XP (vista is a different story) even with a Global Capture.
Now I haven't tried with the licensing server but what it sounds like is there's a separate process that we're not tracking so you'll need to run process explorer to see if there's something that's being run that's not part of the install and then add it to the layer's autorun list like I describe for capturing a Print Driver.
Also a note: with SWV 6.1 you should no longer have to capture a command prompt to get everything a layer is running, we changed how capture behaves and I wrote up a blog post about it a few months back.
