I did the update to the new server, I can run 5.0 but installing 5.1 gets a virus error.

I am sure it is a false positive - I have just tested our exe file on https://www.virustotal.com and all but one scanners detected no issue with the file. We are extensively testing the builds for viruses. Our app communicates heavily on WiFi/USB through standard Windows frameworks - some of the standard, officially accepted solutions are treated as a potential thread.

Thanks for the response. I’ll try to get this to run. Can you put up a link to download the file directly, it is not on the website.

The website has been updated - refresh your browser. You can also download the latest server from here:

I got the same alert from Microsoft defender as tripleBrett - found Metaserver 5.1.4 in the blocked list as labeled “severe threat”- but no way to prevent defender from blocking Metaserver …I continue to use Version 5.0.3 which is accepted by defender! cheers!

I marked Metaserver as “allowed” in Microsoft Defender:

…nevertheless I could not open MS 5.1.4 but got this Metaserver log-file where you eventually could detect my problem:
