If you want to install programs without OpenCandy - first check the installer that you downloaded by uploading to VirusTotal or if you have security software that uses the API - scan with that.
Examples:
VirusTotal Scanner MajorGeeks Download
PeStudio MajorGeeks Download
If Open Candy is found in the program installer run the install with the /NOCANDY switch as mentioned already by another member.
Or if you want a simple way you can download the NoOpencandy.bat batch file from here:
https://forum.eset.com/topic/3701-bl...out-opencandy/
If you don't want to use the download link here's the file contents:
Open Notepad and copy the text above. Save file as "All Files" type and give it the .bat extension.Code:@echo off rem Title: NoOpenCandy rem Author: rugk - https://forum.eset.com/user/3952-rugk rem Version: 0.8 rem Website: https://forum.eset.com/index.php?showtopic=3701 rem Description: This script will start installers containing the PUA library OpenCandy in a way they don't use this component. rem License: This script is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

How to run:
Double click to run the batch file. Do not right click and choose run as admin. It will run with admin rights anyway.
Drag and Drop the program's installer file (the one bundled with Open Candy) into the window and the program will install.
EDIT:
Thought I'd better add scan results for the downloaded batch file.
