    Thanks for your reply.

    Hi Johan,

    seems to me that you have received a buggy virus definition update from your protection software vendor.

    SetupBuilder did not change, so it’s “something” on your machine. Your protection software blocks the generation of your setup .exe.

    Fatal Compiler Error GEN1142: Cannot set MZ signature [-3].

    Hi Friedrich,

    I am getting this error when I try to compile my project.
    Fatal Compiler Error GEN1142: Cannot set MZ signature [-3].

    I got it about two weeks ago but I just closed SetupBuilder and reopened and it compiled.
    I have now tried it a few times without any luck.

    I can't remember installing or changing anything.

    SetupBuilder: 10.0.6428
    Windows 10 1909 (64Bit) (OS Build 18363.535)

    UPDATE: After a few more tries my project compiled.

    Regards

    Johan de Klerk
