Review the Help options in ClearCase Doctor for more information about the logon options.

 DISCLAIMER:
This solution contains information about modifying the system registry. Before making any modifications to the Microsoft® Registry Editor, it is strongly recommended that you make a backup of the existing registry. For more information describing how to back up the registry, refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 256986 at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986.

From an elevated powershell or command prompt:

reg delete /f HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v CCDoctor
reg delete /f HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v CCDoctor

One will work, the other will fail. This depends on 32/64 bit version of ClearCase.

You could also add these commands at the end of your install procedure (but pre reboot) step to ensure CC doctor will not run
