I would at least wait for solid confirmation that this file is NOT anything malicious.

I've been asking the same question about Gizmo for years!🤣 And I'm still not convinced or any the wiser. Having an exe in the Documents folder pales into insignificance...

I just saw this one.  Thought I would clear it up for you.  I never scrutinized anything.  Someone posted an image of their anti virus catching the file.  Like I said, if you have no issues with having an exe file in an add on, then by all means, carry on.  There are those who DON'T like it.  Doesn't make them wrong, and it doesn't make YOU wrong.  You have no problems with it?  Install at your leisure.  

I have no problem with executable files in my community folder per se, but if they trigger my virusscanner I'd be worried alarmed. Now someone from PMDG has said it's a false positive but I found this statement a bit too casual for my taste. PMDG should at least analyse the file to make absolutely sure it is a false positive, and make the file optional in the installation since not everyone really needs it.

The best solution is to make sure the file does not get flagged as mallware off course.

This is what he wrote upthread

 just saw a concerning section in the DC6 folder on another persons install (I don't have it because I run a Mac) that contains a file called PMDG_DC-6_Mouse_Options.exe in the Documentation folder.

Already posted, but it's confirmed the exe alters the mouse section of your registry.  Harmless?  Not for me to decide.  My question is, why is an exe file in the documentation folder?  Why isn't it in another, more appropriate folder.  That's ALL I was asking.  Regardless what other people WANT to believe.

why  dont  you ask the people  who put it  there,  you might  get  your  answer

You don't ask a question, you instill the doubt. 

Knowing that you do not own the product and MFS, your caring for our safety is laughable. You are just trolling as usual  on behalf of the Sect and incidentally for your products. 

Deceptive practices  ? Well it quacks and walks like a duck as far as I see.  

Now we have a very positive thread on a big step forward for MSFS converted into moaning and groaning about a potential risk of a file. Great achievement, but this certainly was not intended.

Kind regards, Michael

Oh, so you think you should be banned?  Well, let's see if what you think comes true.

Is this person also a "fool"?

Sure, you can ask me to go and craw back under my rock.  As soon as you explain what "crawing" is.

Trivializing mental health again?  I'll just leave that one alone.  For you to even think that tells me more than enough.

I do wish you well with you Help, mean time I am going to add you the my ignore list.

Thank you for doing me AND you a favor.

Have a nice day.

Come on, guys. I can see this thread being shut down if the pointless bickering continues.

Please stop the bickering and get back on topic... otherwise the thread will be locked.. Take it elsewhere if you want to insult each other

I dare you to execute it to test it out. I certainly won't!😂

Some of you guys are too paranoid. Remember when windows av was preventing us from starting up the sim couple months ago? I've already excuted the program and nothing happened 

Okay getting back to the topic, PMDG has identified the issue with MP CTD and now they are testing the hotfix according to RSR here:

20JUN21/0300Z Update:
We have identified the cause of the multiplayer CTD, and successfully tested a fix. We are preparing an update to bring the fix out to you and we will have more details for you on that part once we have the update fully vetted for rollout. Stay tuned- and thanks again for your patience.

I thought of it Christopher. But, on the other hand, what to do with a few unsavoury XP activists who don't even own MFS or the PMDG  6 and come here to derail threads ? 

Should we ignore them and the threads will go necessarily south in a spiral of stupid back and forth ? 

Or should we call out their trollish behaviour  ? The thread might go South all the same but at least the strawman discussion is stopped and they are exposed for what they are.  

What is a bit bothering here is that this Goran M is not only a troll.  He is in the business of selling XP simulation aircraft including a Dc-3 Trollish and shady, if you ask me.
