XnView Software

When attempting to install XnView Minimal 2.45 64-bit and XnViewMP 0.90 64-bit in Windows 10 Pro (version 1709), I keep getting notifications from Windows Defender Security Center about Controlled Folder Access blocking XnView from making changes to the folder %desktopdirectory%\, despite having both programs set up as allowed apps in Controlled folder access (see screenshot).

you have allowed the setup exe not xnview's exe

It is the setup exe that is mentioned in the notifications (see screenshot).
