Was this beta installer supposed to be signed?  Because it doesn't seem to be.

According to https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18786 VirusTotal used to report a virus for the installer.  This beta is now reporting clean:  https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/dabf7c3b10ecb70025789c775756bee39bb401d7ef31f5a9131ff8760450fcab/detection

Windows Defender also reports it as clean.

Yes it is signed and I actually checked it on Windows 7.
What makes it appear to be unsigned on your system.

Good to hear that paying the certificate ransom helped making peace with the blackmailers ;).

I just downloaded it again.  To be specific, this is the file I'm downloading and executing:  downloads.dlang.org/pre-releases/2.x/2.082.0/dmd-2.082.0-beta.1.exe

I get the "Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting.  Running this app might put your PC at risk" message.  In other words this:  https://cdn1.tekrevue.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/windows-protected-your-pc.jpg

It recognizes the publisher as "D Language Foundation" but I still don't think that message should be popping up.  I'll research a little and see if I can find some more information.

I'm running Windows 10.

Ok, so it is indeed signed:  https://imgur.com/a/jGdoXSc

I found this which was disappointing:  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39833000/avoid-windows-protected-your-pc-message-for-a-authenticode-cert-signed-install

It's definitely signed.
We may need to have Walter or somebody with contacts with Microsoft to chat to see what else we can do (or them).

This thread was also quite informative:  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12311203/how-to-pass-the-smart-screen-on-win8-when-install-a-signed-application

It's a little old, but from what I'm reading we need "reputation" with Microsoft or an EV certificate, or publish on the Windows Store.
