Installer enables agent though I tried to disable agent (5.2.1.2-1.win32)

When executing the installer for 5.2.1.2-1, I unchecked the 2nd and 3rd options intending to disable installation (or at least starting) of the snmp agent and the trap receiver.  However, the agent and trap receiver were installed and started anyway.  Is this intentional, or did I misunderstand what those options are supposed to do.

This is the installer I used:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/net-snmp/net-snmp-5.2.1.2-1.win32.exe?download

I installed to a non-default location (D:\Omneon\usr), left options 1 and 4 checked, but unchecked 2 and 3. Got a new window (for PATH updates). An snmpwalk against my system found the normal net-snmp supported mib instances, though I am normally not running an SNMP agent of any kind.  In case it matters, I have cygwin installed on this system also.

I just wanted the windows based utilities (snmpwalk, etc.), help file, docs, mibs, etc.  Getting everything installed is ok, but at least the agent and trap receiver should not get started.

Thanks!
Alan
