Assuming that you've checked and verified that your setup_wm.exe file
is a Microsoft file then:

Upload the setup_wm.exe file to Virus Total:

If no other av alert (which they probably won't), then submit the file
to Kaspersky for analysis. It's a likely false alert that needs to be
fixed.

Hi Art,

Thanks for the link.
That looks indeed to a false error according to Virustotal and Kaspersky
online scans
So I accepted the install this time (and I prayed !)
Remain to KAV to find a fix.

Thanks
Thierry
