I can't seem to be able to install Nim 1.6.10 binaries either.
Windows 10 Home Edition, version 21H2, default Microsoft Defender
I haven't found any 2.0rc binary for Windows, where should I look?
I have tried with nim-1.9.1-windows_x64.zip, but it's the same outcome (it's branch 2-0 but the version seems to be 1.9?).
I have tried with the latest build (branch devel), windows_x64.zip, but it's the same outcome.
This seems to solve the issue, at least temporarily:
- open Windows Security
- Settings (bottom right corner)
- Protection history
- open the relevant threat item (confirm admin access if necessary)
- Action / Restore
- check the SHA256 after the file is restored or downloaded again
I could then unzip the archive and strangely, if I scan the archive or the unziped content, I get "0 threats found". Downloading again the other versions was not a problem anymore.
I reported that to MS but I doubt I'll ever get any feedback.
