Release download blocked as a virus #2

Open tgraupmann opened 9 months ago

Chrome/Edge and maybe Windows defender blocks the setup download falsely flagging as a virus for being an uncommon install.

Yes, sadly, I am encountering this as well. I have tried everything I know to force download the file. Do you know of any workaround?

tgraupmann commented 9 months ago

Looks like I just have to sign the installer - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76248724/windows-saying-my-msi-installer-is-a-virus

giandre commented 9 months ago

Great. let us know when you have done that. This tool has a lot of promise!

I'm looking for a cheaper option than $798 + Shipping for 3 years for code signing certs for all my open source projects. https://www.sectigo.com/ssl-certificates-tls/code-signing

Self-signed certs did not work.

I'm going to switch back to Innosetup which has a warning but it won't be blocked. CA cert fees are insane!

tgraupmann commented 9 months ago

I switched to an InnoSetup installer. There's a warning to accept that I didn't use a code signing certificate, but it's not blocked as a virus.

tgraupmann commented 9 months ago

Windows started blocking the new installer as a virus again. Back to code signing.
