[Rob Mensching]

I agree on the approach.

Given there are pull requests, let's discuss the final code tweaks there.

Apparently Avast acquired AVG a couple of years ago, they're essentially
the same product now (so yes, this solution works with AVG). I could not
reproduce with Sophos and no one mentioned it in the issue, have you seen
issues with it?

The PC Matic Supershield works differently than Avast/AVG. It blocks
execution on the elevated bundle. This solution does not address that,
though manually retrying like the WiX bundle allows does work. The log
looks like:
