Hi Patrick,
I have manually deleted the file from the virus chest in Avast, as well as all reference to where I had installed on the D: drive. Re-downloaded the Darktable install file, updated again the Avast program, engine and virus definitions. I have now tried re-installing to a different location with a different name. As I initially used d:\Program Files\Darktable 2.4.0\ to which I have changed to d:\Program Files\Darktable\ Funnily enough the "error opening file..." Dialog box has disappeared and now the program fully installs without error. Maybe Avast has rectified something in their virus definitions but even with a file, directory and whole PC virus scan No errors or virus signature comes up. I have seen nothing else in the forums either, so, obviously it's something with me. With no errors and no virus, I guess it's very safe to say that it must have been a false positive. I am sorry to trouble you, and thanks for the advice.

Thank you for helping me. I went to this URL: https://www.darktable.org/install/ and chose of course the Microsoft Windows option. There is no checksum that I could see from this URL. Have I missed it somewhere? The file location is listed below: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/download/release-2.4.0/d arktable-2.4.0-win64.exe After executing the install near the end my Avast popped up a dialog box with the error code / virus as listed below. I had found something in another forum: "Thank you for letting us know the status. IDP generic means that the detection was detected by an Identity Protection detection component and it is a generalized file that got detected. This can either be a false positive as well which happened due to an out dated definitions and got fixed after updating AVG." I had initially thought it might have been a false positive, and so just required clarification. I have re-downloaded Darktable and have tried to re-install (after uninstalling previous one) but with the following error: Thanks.
