Captive Build Flash Builder 4.6 Problems

Question

I have a weird problem with Flex and Flash Builder 4.6 captive build.

I'm doing an Windows AIR App, and it all works fine, both as an AIR app and form the IDE. However when I make it into a Captive build, its like anything that references Capabilities, just doesn't get compiled in.

No errors or anything. Thus all my window centre, docking functionality just doesn't exist.

Even this line, in an attempt to debug, doesn't fire

mx.controls.Alert.show(Capabilities.screenResolutionX.toString());

If I do an Alert.show('here') on the same line, which is in the init function called from creationComplete it shows.

I worked out what is going on, however I don't understand it. I'll post this as the answer because it is the answer, but if someone wants to post the answer as why, I'll gladly accept their answer.

This is the first bit of code in the init method

// Force Start Program on login.
if (!Capabilities.isDebugger)
{
    NativeApplication.nativeApplication.startAtLogin = true;
}

Nothing else after this code executes, which makes me think that its getting an error and dropping out of the method. If I remove this code, all is well again. But why?
