My application was detected as a virus?
Velopack can't help with this, but you can code-sign your app and check other suggestions here.
What happened to SquirrelAwareApp?
This concept no longer exists in Velopack. You can create hooks on install/update in a similar way using the VelopackApp builder. Although note that creating shortcuts or registry entries yourself during hooks is no longer required.
Can Velopack bootstrap new runtimes during updates?
Yes, this is fully supported. Before installing updates, Velopack will prompt the user to install any missing updates.
