Hi Garrett - thanks for the report. It's a false positive (99.99% at least). This happens frequently with our installer. We never know what triggers the reports and (as far as I know) Microsoft does not provide enough information for us to do anything about it. BTW, we privately received a similar report today from another. Thus I surmise that Microsoft recently changed its rules / updated its software and the new version wrongly thinks our installer is dangerous. Our installer itself has not changed in any meaningful way. I'm very glad installation was able to proceed through the .zip file. Thanks for letting us know, and we wish we could fix it :(. Happy TeXing, Karl
