As the topic states, Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 gives an alert of a infected file in the installer and deletes it before even allowing it to start up.

I'm not telling the installer has a hidden Trojan in it, but it detects "Packed.Win32.PePatch.dk" in the installer.
What I could find out, is that it is a trojan of some sort.
I've tried to whitelist the installer, but then I another error stating that windows couldn't run the application(even with admin rights).
It could just easily be a file with the same name back from 1999's, years before the trojan was out.

It's not a virus, no. Given how many checks we have in place to prevent something like that from happening in a release we have, there pretty much 0 chance. However, a lot of antivirus systems flag files that they're not familiar with--like that one--as likely viruses, because so many new viruses are created every week it's a bear to try and keep on top of them.

Just a heads up, this is happening with ESET smart security as well. I trust that there's not actually a trojan, this does make installation a pain. ESET is usually pretty responsive in updating their virus definitions. Maybe GOG can contact them directly to fix this going forward.

In the meantime excluding the Sin Gold folder from the antivirus scans seems to work.

On another thread, someone having this issue with Kaspersky sent over the file in question to them for them to test it. As expected it came back as a false positive, so hopefully Kaspersky will be corrected for this in their next definitions update. Best I can suggest you do is to do the same for ESET, sending them a false positive request.
