Installer itself is okay to allow from the window defender.
but real issue is, when syslinux.exe try to access usb drive to format and install it,
it access device in different syslinux.exe tmp file name to make impossible to allow from 'access protection' of antivirus.

1.access error during installer make boot disk
2.allow it
3.access error during syslinux make boot disk
4.allow it
5.access error during syslinux make boot disk cause it change different tmp name,
and was user allowed in windows defender was other tmp name.
and also try manually allow 'during excute installer' is impossible, defender only allow to 'allow list' when file isn't handled state.
installer keep change it in every re-excute, so user can't allow it eternity

easy work around

  • just allow installer can re-do entire making boot disk sequence from the first by user click the button.

perment fix

  • just don't try to syslinux keep using different tmp file name everytime.
    not using fixed name looks totally suspicious malware kind attempting.
  • don't using user's local temp directory.
    those kind methods are not working on most of user enviorments.
