Msi installer detected as malicious

I created a setup file which, when run through https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/ , reports that the setup msi and exe are accessing mstask.dll

The setup is flagged at 78% malicious

Report: "MsiExec.exe loaded module %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\mstask.dll at" ...

McAfee and AVG antivirus are preventing the setup from running at all and are deleting it.

We have nothing in our softwareor dependencies accessing mstask.dll. I have done a full dependency check as well.

I need urgent assistance to sort this out.

Thanks.

Re: Msi installer detected as malicious

Hello,

Please note that I've replied to your e-mail.

Posting the same problem on both email and the forum is unnecessary. Duplicate threads can result in two different team members addressing the same question, causing inefficiency.

Best regards,
Liviu
