In order to avoid the unwanted installation, do as follows: Unfortunately, when you launch the game for the first time you don't get the option to decline the installation of the aforementioned program (that's why I left a negative review). IF YOU'RE USING WINDOWS VISTA AND LATER AND/OR AN INTEL CPU, YOU WON'T NEED THAT PROGRAM BECAUSE IT WILL IMPACT YOUR PC PERFORMANCE During the installation, along with the DirectX libraries another program will be installed called AMD Dual-Core Optimizer which was meant to improve the performance on systems that run Windows XP and use old AMD Dual-Core CPUs.
