Went to the download page to install the latest version from xlights.org. When I start to download the file my anti-virus detects the Feury virus. Only comes up on the 64 bit version of 2018.22. Just wanted to let someone know so they can maybe look into it. Many users may not have AV software or be monitoring download files. Thanks and great work on Xlights. My show was a hit last year and working on this year already. Thank you for all your hard work!

What av program are you running @stevenzins ? that may have just been a "false positive".
If you, or anyone else for that matter, are ever concerned you can always check the file using https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/url which will do a scan using multiple av engines.

PS. great update guys

Real men don't run anti-virus.

Once again receiving an "empty file" notification when trying to download this update.  This is through the automatic update, and by going to the site's download page.  This is using Chrome.

Trying to download with Firefox and I get a file, but when I try to open it I receive a message that the file isn't for my version of the OS (Windows 10 - latest). (Note: File size of downloaded file is 14,038 KB.)

If I manually do it from http://xlights.org/downloads/xLights64_2018_22.exe (using Firefox) then I'm able to get it. (Note: File size of downloaded file is 28,273 KB.)

Once again, the installation program hangs on "C:\Program Files\xLights\xScheduleWeb\inc\sidebarPlayerStatus.html".  If I go in and remove the prior version, then do the installation, it finishes. 

3 different computers, same problem.

Just thought you would like to know.

Addition:
Updated the last computer, and reinstalled the one that I am taking to Expo.  Both went without a hitch.
If someone found the problem, thank you.  If no one touched it, then it is time to dig in and see why this happened.  For now, all machines are updated and we are working away.
