MS Defender 2019-07-29 update detects setup as a virus
Today's Defender update is detecting a setup made with AdvancedInstaller 16.1 as virus. Before the update the setup was working correctly. An older setup with a previous AdvancedInstaller version is working correctly.

Hello,
Most likely this is a false positive detection. Could you forward us by email to support at advancedinstaller dot com your .AIP (project file) and a download link for the built setup package which is detected? So we can try to further investigate on this.
As a best practice we would recommend to upload to Microsoft your setup package top be whitelisted befiore each release in production so that you make sure you avoid such unpleasant issues. Nowadays antivirus algorithms changes on a daily basis and avoiding such false positive detections is quite a challenge unless you upload to be whitelisted your EXE setup package.
Have a look on our "False positive virus detection" article we wrote on this topic.
All the best,
Daniel
