Inno Setup is Flagged as Trojan?

[d.healey]

One of my installers has been getting flagged for some people downloading through Chrome - despite being signed. I ran it through Virus Total and sure enough Google was flagging it.

I changed the compression algorithm in the iss file to bzip and that seems to have solved the issue.

@d-healey that's a super funny solution

@d-healey I came across the same thing. Still testing on this end, but changing the compression method seems to have solved it.

I also encountered this problem, but changing the compression type did not solve the problem.

As far as I understand, this problem occurs with installers smaller than a certain file size. So the catch is the file size, not the compression type.

For example, while a 35 MB installer receives a trojan warning, a 70 MB installer containing the same files and other extra files does not receive a trojan warning. very interesting 🧐

@orange also using an old Inno version will help. At least here. Trying 5.2.3 went from 6 to 1 detection

@hisefilo Yes, this problem does not appear in the old version.

The reason why I use the current version is that it offers an expandable interface design compatible with high-resolution screens.

Installers created with old Inno versions seem very small now. I know that the big GUI is not adjustable in the old ones.

multipage

Sorry for the basic question, but does anyone have an example of a simple installer using MultiPageCreator? I'm looking for an example that installs the standalone application in its designated system location and places the VSTs/Components in the correct directories as well.

or docs on how to use these tools to achieve that?

@hisefilo This tutorial project includes an example installer using the multi-page creator - https://github.com/christophhart/vcsl_hise

@d-healey Sorry for my basic question,

Where do we access the "Multipage Creator" menu? I couldn't find it anywhere in Hise.

[hisefilo]

@d-healey Thanks, mate! Have you sorted out VirusTotal with these installers?

I found the project in /tools/multipagecreator in Hise source.

@hisefilo I haven't had any issues since I change the compression type.

@d-healey Is it ready to use it as an installer and send it to customers?

[d.healey]

@bendurso I don't know, I'm quite happy with InnoSetup and Packages so haven't looked into it.
