I am having issues with the SR22 install in xplane 12. While trying to install the aircraft, I get a warning from Windows that there is some sort of malware file, and it has quarantined it.  I started xplane 12 and found that the SR22 file is corrupted.

 

Thanks

This is definitely a false positive. Windows Defender sometimes flags X-Plane add-on files, especially plugin files, because they're unsigned or uncommon rather than because they're actually harmful. When Defender quarantines one of them, the aircraft ends up incomplete, which is why X-Plane is reporting it as corrupted.

To fix it:
1. Make sure your download came directly from your X-Aviation account, not a third-party site.
2. Delete the partial SR22 folder from X-Plane 12.
3. Open Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Protection history, find the SR22 item, and choose Restore (or allow it).
4. Add an exclusion for your X-Plane 12 folder under Virus & threat protection settings > Manage settings > Exclusions.
5. Re-run the installer.

If it still fails, contact X-Aviation support directly. They can confirm the file and help sort it out.
