Is it any 3rd party tool or just a specific one? If you try to start just Notepad.exe does it also flag it? It could be the case that starting four processes so quickly trips it up.
It seems like Process.Start is triggering Avast. The Process.Start
calls are initiated at App.fs#421 and App.fs#422.
I'm not sure there's anything I can do about it. It could be a low reputation thing because the launcher is a super niche exe
. It could be Avast's heuristics creating a false positive. It could be that Avast doesn't like it because it isn't code signed (which I'm not willing to do because of cost).
I did test with the different 3rd-party tools and one in particular (Elite Odyssey Materials Helper) causes the error, and since it caused the error with the mini launcher, it is now causing the error when I try to run it alone. the other two apps run perfectly whether manually or from the launcher.
I haven't tried notepad, since the other two tools work.
and I have reported it as best I can at the materials helper github as well https://github.com/jixxed/ed-odyssey-materials-helper/issues/164
I got this from the AVAST team, and have tested it, everything is running as it should be
