Research direction

Compare how MusicBeam.exe is packaged for v2.1.0 versus v2.1.1, then reproduce the launch behavior on Windows 10 x64 for both MusicBeam32 and MusicBeam64. Done means the affected v2.1.1 builds start without the reported Windows SmartScreen warning.

Description

Since v2.1.1 the start of MusicBeam.exe causes Windows SmartSreen to prevent the start
Windows SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized program from starting. Running this program might put your PC at risk.

v2.1.0 is not affected

System: Windows 10 (x64) and MusicBeam32 & 64
