Which fix are you exactly referring to?

How did you install the game? Did you use the offline installer or Galaxy?
You should also provide more information about your system (hardware, OS, etc.).

Agreed, it seems something went wrong during the installation. Your antivirus might have interfered with the installation process, but this is only a speculation.
Have you tried uninstalling the game and then reinstalling it again?

Have you tried the 1.28 fan patch? if you haven't tried it, then try downloading Wizardry 8 Fan-Patch 1.28r BETA.7z https://disk.yandex.ru/d/UkctEDXBqBJnbw

If suddenly the Microsoft antivirus complaint is a false virus\Trojan, then the exeshnik has changed. Try to download
Wizardry 8 Fan-Patch 1.28r BETA-Alternative.7z https://disk.yandex.ru/d/L56dM-1VWDKA2g , if it helped to download the "alternative", then I replace it with a new exeshnik.

Instruction manual:
1)Unpack the archive into the root game.
2)In 3DSetup1_28a.exe , Select DirectX7_1
3)Property Wiz8_v128.exe put compatibility: Windows 2000 ("Compatibility only works from Windows 95 to Windows 2000", starting with Win XP SP2 the problem is party movement).
If there is no "Windows 2000" in the list, then Windows 98. Start the game. And if suddenly a fatal error window says "Coult not open video output device.". Remove the compatibility checkmark "Windows 98".
Launch "3DSetup1_28a.exe " select "DirectX_7", "Miles Fast 2D Positional Audio". Play ...
If suddenly "The game reacts very badly to movement", then change the video mode "DirectX_7" to "OpenGLa".
