Using VS2019 I have a simple C++ MFC program.
I used VS Deployment capability to create a MSI package that can be downloaded so my program can be used by another person/computer.
Windows Defender AntiVirus identifies the MSI package as having a virus and does not let the package download.
If I manually load the MSI file on a WIN10 computer - then Defender does not let it execute stating that it contains a virus.
Defender has no issue with my MFC C++ exe file -- only the MSI file that was created.
Question is how to resolve this?
Why would Microsoft's own deployment process create a MSI file that Windows Defender would then say that it contained a virus?
Thanks for any comments.
