Builder version

v2.1.0

How you built

Hookshot Builder app (Windows)

Game files given to it

A .nup

The error

When installing Windows Antivirus showed that it gave me 4 trojans? is this just an issue that I come across or is it something bigger? If theres a fix let me know and I don't want to spread any misinformation or drama.

Visual Studio or Build Tools version, and Windows SDK version

No response

Operating system and free space on the output drive

Windows 10

Before you send it

I'm on the newest release, or it still fails on it.
I searched the open issues for this error.
I'm not attaching game files or anything built from them.

I had a problem downloading the direct EXE file, but if I download the ZIP file, everything is fine.

Assuming you got the file from github and are using your own dumped copy, it's probably a false alarm. If the detected signature ends in "ml" it's Windows Defender machine learning detecting the kinda thing that makes these projects function. It's fine, add an exclusion per the instructions.

Thanks for the report. Reports of the same problem are now collected in #1003, which lists this one with your details and links back here, so one fix closes them together and the open list stays readable. Follow #1003 for the fix, and add new details there (or here). If this turns out to be a separate problem it will be reopened.
