Hey there,
As of today, the file Icinga2-v2.15.2-x86.msi is getting flagged as malware by Windows Defender.
Using Virustotal, Google, McAfee and others report the file.
The x86_x64 does not seem to be affected.
I guess this is a false positive, but I just want to get acknowledgement from your side.
Cheers and have a nice holiday!
since that merge there are no 32bit msi files for icinga for windows (icinga powershell repository)

Precisely speaking, `tools/win32/build-choco.ps1` creates a PS script that downl… oads our MSIs from packages.icinga.com - to be uploaded to Chocolatey. This PS script now omits 32 bit MSIs.
Despite being a niche, 32-bit MSIs currently get uploaded to Chocolatey. Their antiviruses block our whole releases due to the 32-bit MSIs being fishy.
fixes #10754
## Test
1. Download and extract https://git.icinga.com/packages/special/windows-icinga2/-/jobs/832336
2. Rename the .nupkg file to .zip, then extract it
3. Edit tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1, correct the checksum64 value 🙈 (see `curl -fsSL https://packages.icinga.com/windows/Icinga2-v2.15.0-x86_64.msi |sha256sum -`)
4. Install Chocolatey
5. `Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Force`
6. `Import-Module C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\helpers\chocolateyInstaller.psm1`
7. `& C:\icinga2.2.15.0.327.nupkg\tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1`
"icinga2 has been installed." 👍
they still are available here:
But for your question:
Despite being a niche, 32-bit MSIs currently get uploaded to Chocolatey. Their antiviruses block our whole releases due to the 32-bit MSIs being fishy. - Al2Klimov
So this means the icinga team is aware that antiviruses flag 32 bit agent installer msi

@jbrost told me all x32 Windows Server versions are EOL. So you shouldn’t really need x32 Icinga, I hope.
