JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler Issue Tracker

We use NSIS installer and the build system always downloads the newest version. Unfortunately, the antiviruses flag many of the NSIS features as malicious. That's caused by the nature of the installer - it install things, unpacks to the disk. The NSIS installers are used also by many viruses (like other installers). The AVs must make hard decisions, which parts of the NSIS are "malicious" and which not. Many not-so-known AVs do this decision based on some AI, which is imperfect. As I said in other related issues: We do not put anything harmful in the decompiler or in the installer. The source code is freely available on our Github, anybody can check. The NSIS is also open source. Here is some info from NSIS itself about its false-positives: https://nsis.sourceforge.io/NSIS_False_Positives They suggest to report any false-flagged installer to the vendors of the AVs, in the past I tried this, but some AVs do not really want to communicate with you, and also I guess we would need to repeat this on every release. 12 FP is pretty large number, I am thinking of using MSI (Windows installer) instead of the NSIS, I tried some experiments with it already, but it seems to be not very intuitive... And its build system is not available for Linux, which is bad. You can use the zipped version of FFDec instead of the installer, it is pretty same thing, just without shortcuts in Startmenu. That should not had any problem in antivirus. (only some obscure ones) I should put this info somewhere in the FAQ, many people would have the similar question.

I did some changes to NSIS script and it seems that it lowered the malicious count in Virustotal (2/64), see: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/84706f72d36f9829c3ef1576014d3efcadd199d3bb3c3a84e1131c 3b14edd01c?nocache=1 (nightly 3033) I hope this will be enough for some time.

Thank you for the work you do
