Maybe there should be a readme or note somewhere, or better yet a slight mod since the [kindly posted] DirectX install patch [ http://goo.gl/X7mnz ] automatically installs the streaming app -- there doesn't seem a way around it.
On a positive note it's not *too* bad to get rid of, at least if you prevent it from starting & configuring itself on re-boot. In XP Pro SP3 32 I used Autoruns [from SysInternals at Microsoft.com] to disable the run once key entry in the registry -- while you're in Autoruns you can also disable the 2 HipServ drivers/services, & I also disabled the 2 VBox drivers... FWIW the uninstall routine didn't get rid of those registry entries, without the referenced files they wouldn't/couldn't do much anyway, & the reason I disabled them was that it was before the necessary re-boot to make sure they'd uninstall without problems [no idea if it helped or not, but un-checking 4 boxes seemed easier than finding out]. As uninstall didn't show up in Add/Remove programs, I used "MsiExec.exe /I{B44C746E-2A9E-4184-9FF8-7A44FCA749CE}" in Windows' Start Menu Run box -- found that in the registry in one of its uninstall keys. Besides the [default] folder in Program Files\Roxio there was also a "Axentra Corporation" folder in All Users\Application Data, plus the folder that setup put on the desktop.
