When attempting to install OCaml with the 64-bit Windows installer found here: https://fdopen.github.io/opam-repository-mingw/installation/ Windows Defender flagged and quarantined opam-putenv.exe as a "Trojan:Win32/Ymacco.AAF3".

Yes, I know. I've already removed it from opam64.tar.xz and opam32.tar.xz. I don't understand why it was still contained in OCaml64.exe and OCaml32.exe. But I've removed it know from there, too.

The file is not strictly necessary and it's flagged by too many antirvirus software. It would be too much work for me to contact all the antivirus manufacturers to have it classified as false-positive.
