Problem
In certain instances, you can use the PGP Desktop .msi installer file to enable/disable specific PGP Desktop feature components. This can be accomplished by specifying switches to the msiexec.exe command line utility.
Disabling a PGP Desktop component means it will not appear in the PGP Desktop user interface, and it ensures that there will not be any compatibility issues with the operating system or third-party products.
PGP Desktop is installed by using an executable file within the Extracted PGP Desktop folder.
This article describes where to obtain the PGP Desktop msi file.
Solution

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Temp
Windows 7: C:\Users\<user name>\Local Settings\Temp
3. Browse for a folder with PGP in the folder name e.g. PGP52f59.
4. The PGP Desktop msi installer is located in the folder.
5. Copy and paste the msi file to your Windows Desktop or other location.
6. Open a command prompt and run the installer with the desired switch.
For Example:
