Description

Hey there.
Looks like you have executable compression turned on and it's throwing Windows "Smart screen" service for a spin. Not a huge issue, but figure you'd like to know before you're inundated with a million messages about it.
Looks like its the usual culprit of 'panic, I can't read your executable', also detected by some startup AV "Bkav"

Yelled at MS, not sure if it'll help since they don't listen to people as evidenced by 2004 version of windows...

Research direction

Start with the installer executable and the linked VirusTotal report, then review the packaging settings related to executable compression. The issue names no source files or tests, and completion is unclear because it does not specify whether to change compression, signing, or another installer property.
