CommonAppDataFolder and UAC

I ended up building from source code after the delay in the next release for UAC.

It looks like as long as wyupdate.exe is signed then AVG won't complain about it.

We do sign wyUpdate. Were you building it from source?

Have you spoken to AVG?

I have an authenticode certificate that I'm using to sign the installer and I experimented signing wyupdate.exe with the certificate and the error has yet to reappear. I'm guessing it isn't flagged anymore because whatever heuristics the anti-virus uses to determines whether a program is a virus sees that the exe is authenticode signed and so doesn't flag it.

Could you start authenticode signing your builds of wyupdate.exe?

The wyUpdate.exe version included with the initial msi installer is 2.6.16.4

Would it update itself when you haven't released a new version in the last couple of weeks?

No, it wouldn't. However it would self-update if you're using an old version of wyUpdate. So, the question is this: what version of wyupdate.exe are you using? Right click wyUpdate.exe, click Properties, and look at the version number.

Yes the free virus scanner version of AVG.

I'm not sure whether wyUpdate is updating itself. Would it update itself when you haven't released a new version in the last couple of weeks? I do know that when testing I've deployed some updates for my application to the server for wyUpdate to download.

Sorry, I should've made myself more clear-- is this only happening with self-updates. That is, when wyUpdate is not self-updating is this happening?

Also, what AVG product are you using? Is it the free anti-virus product?

Yes

Is this happening when wyUpdate is self-updating?

Yes I also get the warning when installing to C:\Program Files
