Offline Installer raises Defender warning

    XMLWordPrintable

    • Windows

    Description

      Starting the offline installer for the first time raises a warning from Windows Defender SmartScreen.

       
      Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognised app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.
      [More info|about:blank#]
       

      You have to unfold "More info" - which basically contains no real details, but when doing so you'll get another button which allows to execute the Installer..

       

      Note: former installers (before QC 4.14) did not raise this.. This seems also to apply for the 4.13.3 snapshot - so, has anything changed in the way we put the installer stuff together? Or is it even the installer itself?
