Hi again, I've confirmed with the relevant folks internally that our malware scanner hit a false positive on your project. Your files are indeed clean, the InnoSetup executables simply got caught by an incorrect virus signature (which has since been fixed).
I've republished your project. Sorry about all the trouble! We do these malware scans to protect the users of Google Code, and it sucks that you got caught in the crossfire. If you have any further problems with this sort of thing, don't hesitate to tell us.
