It's a false-positive, there is nothing potentially unwanted being installed. Contact your AV vendor to report this false-positive.

If you look at the Virus Total results, you'll see now 21 vendors are detecting PUA in the installer. Are you suggesting they're all wrong?

They blindly copy each others signatures.
