It looks to me like you are trying to start the Acad.exe from a location other than where it was installed. I think you should be starting this from the AutoCAD subdirectory in  C:\Program Files\Autodesk unless you have installed this in some other location.

Launched from directory and still get the sxstrace.exe error.

I don't think that your issue is related to this post as this is dealing with starting AutoCAD from a custom application. Please review the artical in the included link and see if that solves your problem. If not please post a new thread or find one related.
