Just got a new PC (largely to handle video editing for my HG10) w/ Vista Home Premium. I want to install only the Corel GuideMenu program, not Ulead or WinDVD. If I run the main setup.exe it tries to install all three and doesn't seem to give you the option to only install one. So I went directly into the GuideMenu folder on the DVD and there is a setup.exe file in there as well. I ran it and it seemed to install GuideMenu (only) ok (there were a couple of errors at the end of the install - some registry entries it couldn't create or find) but it never gave me the option of going through the activation process like the native setup.exe (for all 3 programs) does. So when I rebooted my computer and it tries to autostart GuideMenu it gives me an error message saying I need to run setup to activate it. Tried re-running the GuideMenu only setup but never got the option to activate. I don't want to install all 3 programs and then uninstall the 2 I don't want - it's a brand new PC and I want to keep it as clean as possible.

Any ideas on how to install and activate GuideMenu only?

And once I get GuideMenu working, is there any way to prevent it from starting up automatically and placing the icon in the tray area? I am not planning to use it that often and don't like programs running in the background.

TIA

I Just installed everything, then removed the other applications. I'm surprised it won't install on it's own.

Yes take it out of your startup items and it won't bother you until the next time you use it, then you have to right-click on the tray icon and choose exit the next time you run the program.
