Same as #5431 (comment). Would you mind submitting it as a false-positive to McAfee please?

I have the same problem. Our company security department reports that the hash is recognized as malware by several AV vendors beside McAfee, please change it!

Somewhat related, this issue would likely be fixed by installing from the Microsoft Store, see #5477. If you have any thoughts on this, please chime in!

Oh thanks, there is 8.1.2 in the MS Store and it's fine (choco installs 8.1.1).

We're currently testing the store setup, which causes some version number inconsistencies. There formally is no 8.1.2 release, I just needed to bump the number during testing. The store will soon have 8.1.3, which is exactly the same as 8.1.1 everywhere else. With the next release they'll stay in sync.
