    Default AVG protection and SetupBuilder IDE crashes

    -- AVG Antivirus & Antispyware and SETUPICON #pragma to customize the actual
    installer icon.

    Scenario: After updating your SetupBuilder (V7.x or V8.x) environment to a
    new version -or- renaming the installer .exe name in Project Properties, the
    AVG Antivirus system brings the SetupBuilder IDE "down" (crashes the
    compiler).

    Jane helped to track down this issue. Up to know, there is no known
    workaround to this AVG bug, which is there "forever". After the crash, you
    have to restart the SetupBuilder IDE and then subsequent compiles have no
    problem.

    The same might happen with the "#config Win32 PE header..." and "#embed UAC
    manifest..." compiler directives.

    The AVG system (real-time monitoring functionality?) causes a "crash" in the
    Windows API which manipulates the generated executable. As a result, the
    SetupBuilder IDE itself also crashes. The system does not even wait until
    the Windows API call gives control back to SetupBuilder. It does not help
    to exclude the folder where the .sb8 project file, source files, and
    generated installer are.

    Unfortunately, this is completely out of your control. If you notice this
    on your computer and you are AVG protected, please report the issue to AVG.
