The executable or msi installer goes corrupt when blocked by security software, even though its safe. I too had this problem, I recommend that you upload the installers into the master branch and have users download/clone the whole repository and then use the installer files.

Another better method is to add proper publisher and credential details while building to executable installer

    When I try to download the .exe installer for Python turtle from github, my browser and windows blocks it recognises it as malware (although it is not) when I suppress these warnings and open the installer it displays this error

    The setup files are corrupted, please obtain a new copy of the software

    Even I had this problem when dealing with lone executables on github, but if the executable is downloaded with a bunch of other files ie. the other files in the repository, then it is not blocked, hence no corruption and the installation goes perfectly

    In essence I'm asking you to add the installer to the main branch.

    Didn't seem like anything could be done, so closed it. It'll be nice to see some updates of what is being done
