The verdict for this sample has been changed to benign as it isn't malicious.  Our sandbox initally classified it as malware as the install process launched several command windows.  This is a practice that malware will often employ.

Thank you for contacting Palo Alto Networks in regards to this potential false positive.  Please allow us time to analyze the sample and if it is deemed to be a False Positive, we'll change the verdict.
