"You don't have to be ripping the CD, either--just playing it from your CD-ROM drive triggers the installation. "

Very easy, just disable the autorun feature of your CD unit.
I never have the autorun enabled, I hate each time that load a CD it wants to install something that I have or have no interest to install. Also you can use Spybot that prevents installation of unwanted software.
