Registering an account without using the installer CD

Some advice please.

I've been an NTL broadband (600Kb) customer since NTL launched their bb service. When I signed up, I chose to purchase my own cable modem (which I still use) instead of hiring one from NTL.

This week, I contacted NTL to find out what I would need to do to upgrade my connection to 1Mb. It seems that because my account is so old, I'm not actually registered on one of their systems which, I'm told, is a pre-requisite for my being able to upgrade.

So, I've been sent the Broadband Installer (broadjump) CD which I've been told I must use to "register" my account. My question is, does anyone know what this registration process is and more importantly, can it be bypassed without having to run the installer on the supplied CD?

I don't want to use the installer as I see that it will attempt to install drivers for a cable modem which I do not have. Call me paranoid but I want to avoid installing anything (particularly drivers) which I have no need for.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

P.S. I'm running Windows Server 2003.
