The installing of AutoHotkey_2.0.15_setup.exe fail. Microsoft defender says there is a Trojan:Script/Phonzy.B!ml inside. It removes the file that has the trojan and then the installer fails with error
Error: This calue of type "Installation" has no property named "Hashes".

Extracting the ZIp file works. But the ZIP does not include all files. There is no Compiler or binaries for the compiler. When running UX\install-ahk2exe.ahk you get the compiler. Checking in Ahk2Exe.exe for updates
Installing all updates. But when compiling WindowSpy.ahk it results in a file where it says it has a trojan again.

@bshogeman -- Antivirus software flagging a false positive is not an AHK bug, so your topic in "Bug Reports" was moved to this thread. You may need to temporarily disable Defender to let it install, and you may need to identify a whitelisted directory to prevent your AHK installation folder from being scanned by any antivirus software you may have.

When reporting false positives to anti-virus companies, provide detailed information about the detected file, including its source, the detection message, and any relevant logs or screenshots. Accurate reporting helps improve detection algorithms and ensures legitimate files aren't mistakenly flagged as threats. This enhances overall software security and user experience.
