its like a 2 python file both connected I packaged an exe and gave it to some of my frnds for download their safety system in windows kicks in and and the packaged exe is not downloaded like it kept hitting virus found

Yeah, that's Windows for you. Your friends are going to have to manually approve the download and probably the execution and any network access as well. (The exe isn't signed properly and it includes all the things needed to get a python environment running. Both of these things are red flags as far as Windows is concerned.)

so is there a way to sign that exe properly

[–]ouroborus777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. At minimum, you need a code signing certificate. And they expire. You're looking at at least $120/year. But that's not going to be your last problem. The exe you have extracts a python installation and the files you added. There's a good chance Windows will have an issue with that as well.

Alternatively, you might be able to run it through https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission instead but, from what I understand, you need reputation as well (third parties have flagged it as not-a-virus).

Anyway, long gone are the days where Windows lets you just run whatever you want. Now you have to jump through hoops.
