You can just install normally, and then remove the Boinc Manager from the "Startup" folder under the programs menu.

That way the Boinc service will still run, but not the manager and tray icon. When you want to manage BOINC, just start the manager from the menu.

Look here:

Your computers are hidden - so the next may or may not apply to you:
If you use Vista/Win7 + CUDA it will not work with service (Protected) install.
Look e.g. this:
