Warning

July 11, 2024
It looks like MS Defender now accepts that the V633 installer is no virus. Today I was able to download and install it without virus reports.

But.... Now another problem has revealed. ExifTool by Phil Harvey has changed, and as a consequence the installer is not able to download and install automatically. ExifTool provided by Oliver Betz still works.
I'm working on a solution, but it will require changing the installer.

July 2, 2024
I have a request to all people who believe, like me, that the installer is no malware/virus.
Please report to MS that this is a false positive. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission
It may help. Thanks in advance.

Note: If you submit the file to VirusTotal, only 3 out of 74 report it as a virus.

June 21, 2024
Upon downloading the installer MS Defender may report: Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml
Changing the compression to zip only worked for 2 weeks!
Will postpone development on the project for the time being. Sorry.
