Windows defender false positives even on samples

[Traktor]

Even sample scripts are recognized as "Virus", this is not normal.

Other installers don't have this issue....

Because the uninstall engine is the same as the install engine, and it's
included in the installation directory, it often gets improperly flagged
as malware by anti-virus vendors because it is "installed" by people who
actually do use Inno to create installers for malware.

Some other installers are less prone to this because they hide the
uninstall engine elsewhere on the user's system, but that has its own
set of problems.

All you can really do is to submit it as a false positive to those
vendors who flag it and hope they learn from their mistakes, although
they never do (although it usually does get fixed .. until the next time).
