Hi

A separate scan of the installer binaries does not detect any malware.
I've just started a full scan of all my hosts & HDDs - well, that'll take a while)

But I'm 99% sure it's a FP - follow these links:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68834409/program-installed-with-inno-setup-seen-as-trojan-wacatac-bml
• Setup installer detected as virus (false positive) felicienfrancois/node-innosetup-compiler#10
• https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=28890.0
• +100500 others

I'm definitely using INNO Setup v6.22 to build installers. I may try using some ancient version of INNO Setup, such as 6.0.2 or earlier. Maybe it will help.

You can submit the installers to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission so Windows Defender is trained.

That's quite a long story))
I've changed InnoSetup from 6.2.2 to 5.6.1 and VirusTotal is silent now.
The new installer pack is on the wiki.
