Hi Guys,

I can respect that Inno Setup has heuristics and requires some security features of its own.  However, I find it frustrating that neither the error dialog nor my log file document the reason Samsung Magician 6.3.0.330's installer is triggering your heuristics.  

Thanks,
Christian Blackburn

That message isn't coming from Inno.

Hi Guys,

I thought I'd add the context of a screenshot:
Screenshot for use in Inno Setup Forum.png

Virus Total lists Samsung Magician's installer as 100% safe and I'm using Inno Setup 6.2.0.  

Thanks,
Christian Blackburn

Hi Gavin,

Thank you for the feedback.  You're absolutely right.  It's coming from Magician's own installer, which in my defense was also written in Inno Setup making it hard to distinguish.  

Thanks,
Christian Blackburn

Make a folder on the desktop with nothing inside of it and extract the zip file into there rather than just desktop or moving the extracted contents.
Run the installer with administrator privileges.
