Install fails [Solved -- Antivirus]

Says the file InstallLauncher.exe may be dangerous.

Even if I click the option 'I trust this file', it still won't let me run the install.

That's a problem with your antivirus software.  Please start a thread if you need help.  Report it to the publisher as a false positive.

You should report it to them as a false positive.
But no-one should be using AVG any more. They sell your personal data, and are known to cause lots of problems.
Windows Defender is better than any 'free' anti-virus, and most (if not all) of the paid ones too.
If you're still running Windows 7, it is 'Microsoft Security Essentials' but I'd recommend that anyone still running 7 consider upgrading to 10. Support for 7; i.e. security updates, ends in 2020.

*** Out of topic ***
What you said probably it's so in your experience.
In mine aVG Free has been a good help for virus issues. Despite that they are a terrible spammers.

Big problem is that Microsoft is not capable of give a good support for Windows Defender.
I have Windows 10 and it's impossible to make Defender working, other antivirus, except if you reinstall Windows.

*** back on topic ***
For the moment I'm really happy with MC 23.0.103 64bit version
Later I'll try 32bit version in other machine I use. It also have AVG Free.

Just received a confirmation popup from AVG Virus Lab stating for InstallLauncher.exe "This file is clean. Thanks for alerting us, the larger our database, the better we can protect you - and 230 million others".
