The "start.exe" is a compiled version of "start.bat" you can review and run the code for yourself.

I have issued a formal report to the Github moderation team. Your EXE on the last release (v2.2.3) is flagged on 33 engines in VirusTotal. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/575988d0665d7118b405d944a252570a9e7d7c4b3980871e815df29b10d352b0/detection

As of commit cd585e2, start.exe won't ship with any new versions of vlc-discord-rpc.
