Hello,
first get a message that this might harm my pc. think because the owner of this software is not windows license.

But after accept this worning, get the error that i doenst have the right to install. After that this exe is removed.
also avira told me that this is a virus :-(

Thanks for reporting.

Windows build it is experimental. This is first python app I have packaged.
I will investigate this issue when I have enough time.
Probably it needed sign app or similar.

Right now you can try next options:

1. I remember that there were some issues to run when vlcsync.exe was under ~/User/Downloads (or similar). So just try to move binary to i.e. C:\vlcsync folder. Then try again to run.

2. If that doesn't help, just try to install vlcsync from sources:

• Install python (with Add Python to PATH checkbox)
• Restart
• Start console (Press Super → type cmd → press Enter)
• Run in console: pip3 install vlcsync
• For start program. Run in console: vlcsync

Let me know if there are some issues.

Also, could you tell me what antivirus you're use?

I have done investigation.

Issue related to pyinstaller "AntiVirus false positive" issues:

• Sample project that is detect as virus or trojan on Windows pyinstaller/pyinstaller#5932
• and similar antivirus-false-positives issues.

For fix, it needs to buy MS Certificate and sign binaries. And do additional tricks.
Windows is not priority platform, so issue will NOT PLAN to fix.

For installing use pip3 installation method, described above.
I will update README for this.

I've added alternative way installation instructions for Windows:
