We are seeing the same thing Currently using AI 13.1 I'm also seeing that this happened to a VM after a Windows update. WHen we copy our compiled Items we don't see this issue. We are just trying to make sure if it's an issue with Windows flagging AI installs as a Virus or is our installers actually infected.

Hello,

We tested this using our latest version of AI and 13.1 on the latest version of Windows 10 but cannot replicate such false detection.

Can you please send us the .aip (project file) and a download link for your built setup package to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can further test and investigate this?
Also, if you could identify a test case we can use to easily replicate this detection, this will be very useful.


Best regards,
Liviu

I sent a false positive report to Microsoft, it was fixed.

Thanks
