If recording is being a problem and you have "automatically map new objects" disabled you can temporarily change the recognition properties of the application's root object so that it is not recognized. For example if it is recognizing your application on the ProcessName property of "setup", change it to be "setupTEMP", record your script, then change it back.
Just be cautious and make changes from the name mapping editor (http://smartbear.com/support/viewarticle/11942/), NOT the edit name mapping item dialog (http://smartbear.com/support/viewarticle/12483/); the dialog can only be opened if the item exists, and the changes you'd make would stop it from being recognized as an existing object.
