Still seeing this as of the time of this writing. Edge Dev flags it immediately and other browsers download the file, but then the file is flagged when you try to run it.
I filled out the Google Form and just wanted to update on this thread to let people know that this still seems to be an issue. As a workaround until this is fixed, maybe put a warning about it on the download page for Windows as well as the file hash in case people want to verify it. I tested out forcing the installer to run as non-admin via "cmd /min /C "set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER && start "" racket-8.0-x86_64-win32-cs.exe" and that resulted in no prompt being raised. Running it directly from cmd still raises the error. However, running directly from am admin cmd prompt also launched the installer with no warnings. *The issue seems to be caused by the fact that the installer immediately tries to elevate to admin.* I think it may be possible to get the installer to work without admin as long as Racket installs outside of Program Files. I know some installers only elevate to admin if the user requests to do a system wide install. I tested this out about a year ago and the Racket installer doesn't actually need admin permissions. I verified this by using the RUNASINVOKER trick since this was on a work machine were I did not have admin permissions.
