  Since it is a known fact that it _does_ legitimately contain
self-modifying code, the fact that your system doesn't warn must mean it is
not configured to warn about self-modifying code.

  Well, your report is a false negative, so it's not grounds for suspicion
in itself.
 
> At what time during the execution/installation did the warning appear?

  It should be pretty much immediately the thing gets running, as soon as it
tries to call any of the wininet or advapi/scm functions.
