Running Install.cmd on Windows fails part-way through the installation because Windows Defender detects Trojan:PowerShell/Powdow.JRR!MTB. This detection occurs specifically during the SpotX installation step. When Defender intervenes, the install script is left in a partially executed state and the overall installation breaks, requiring manual cleanup and reruns.

Please update the installation instructions to explicitly mention that users should temporarily disable real-time protection or configure an exclusion before running the installation script.
