Here’s a NetBeans-ified version of my MSI installer building scripts, with a 
README:

The buildmsi_ci.bat script just assumes you set a PAYLOAD_DIR that contains 
bin/netbeans64.exe at a minimum. If you have a NetBeans platform application 
you’d do some search-and-replace of “netbeans” with whatever the branding token 
of your application is.

No, no issues as far as I have seen. It seems Azure Trusted Signing is meant to 
be the way to avoid these Windows Defender warnings.

Sure, understood.  It would be useful to see the WiX scripts if you're
happy to share.  It would help to see usage with a NetBeans structured
application.  And it would be good to ensure that even if you don't
migrate, NBPackage could cover all the options you require.

Azure Trusted Signing works great! It successfully prevented the Windows 
Defender warning from appearing, just like the Sectigo Extended Validation 
physical USB token I used before.

Good to know.  I was curious if the fact that the trusted signing
certificate isn't extended validation caused any issues with defender.

Best wishes,

Neil
