Thanks for your reply. I know it's Packer code causing the problem
because the virus detector goes off as soon as "boot.exe" is
produced during installation.
I just rewrote the code in C++ to avoid all this.
Using 32-bit Strawberry perl:
% /apps/devtools/Strawberry/perl/bin/perl.exe --version
This is perl 5, version 28, subversion 0 (v5.28.0) built for
MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-64int
