Description

On a Windows 7 box, while the installer was still on "Initializing", the Office Scan antivirus warned me that a process had been blocked as "malware behavior" had been detected.
The installation then did not finish.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the installation on Windows 7 with Trend Micro Office Scan enabled, noting what happens while the installer shows “Initializing.” Compare that behavior with installation when the antivirus is absent or does not block the process; done means the cause of the “malware behavior” block and the resulting incomplete installation are identified.
