[...] Hi Julien, I don't know the exact reasons why the .vbs approach was chosen. I now filed https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTIFW-2625 with your suggestion, maybe the Installer Team wants to give it a try Kai ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development

Hi, Is there a reason to be using a vbs file ? In windows a running executable cannot replace itself, but it can rename itself. The way I've done it in the past is: * The running executable renames itself. * It then creates the new executable with the correct name. * Just before returning from main, it starts the new executable (there is a short window of time where both the old and new one can be running, but it doesn't matter if the old one is not using any resources any more ; if need be, the new one can be given a flag to wait for the old one to exit). I find it simpler, and much less likely to trigger an antivirus than a vbs file :) -- Julien Cugnière ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development

Hi, > Are deferredrenamekERbOS.vbs and deferredrenameQIoNFA.vbs included in the > MaintenanceTool package? They are not _included_ in the MaintenanceTool package. Anyhow, "deferredrenameXX.vbs”are temporary files the MaintenaceTool.exe writes to schedule an update of itself. That is, because on Windows an executable cannot be replaced when it is running, the MaintenanceTool.exe * Saves the new MaintenanceTool.exe in parallel * Writes above .vbs file, and starts it * Stops itself The .vbs script will then every second try to replace the original .exe file, and – after being successful – restarting the MaintenanceTool. Why Kaspersky now starts to complain about it: No idea :/ Anyhow, we had false positives about the MaintenanceTool before, the best process to fix it is probably to report the false positive to Kaspersky: https://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/answers/1870 . Would you like to do that (since you still have the temporary files, I assume)? Regards Kai Von: Interest Im Auftrag von Nibedit Dey Gesendet: Dienstag, 3. Mai 2022 22:06 An: development@qt-project.org; inter...@qt-project.org Betreff: [Interest] Issues with latest Qt MaintenanceTool and Kaspersky Hello Qt Team, I just ran the updater using the MaintenanceTool. After the update, the MaintenanceTool got listed as malware by Kaspersky Anti-Virus and removed from the system. Refer to the screenshot below: [cid:image001.png@01D85F92.23A1F470] [cid:image002.png@01D85F92.23A1F470] I have been using both Qt and KAV together for the last several years without any issues. Are deferredrenamekERbOS.vbs and deferredrenameQIoNFA.vbs included in the MaintenanceTool package? Why suddenly did the anti-virus start listing it as malware? Has anyone else observed this? Thanks & Regards, Nibedit ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
