Not this, but my installer packed by INNO Setup were falsely flagged by
some antivirus. So possibly, it is just self-extracting mechanics that
triggers false alarm.
I am PC anti-vaxxer (:-)), but if you are paranoid, create a Windows
virtual machine and install GNAT and then GtkAda there. Copy C:\GtkAda
to your working machine, scan it for viruses. That would effectively
install it without running the installer.
