Just a hunch but is part of the problem that so many of the files created have “suspicious” file extensions (something the AV software thinks might be a vector for malware)? Could “auto.inf” be created with a different extension and perhaps could the index pages be created as xml (albeit with changed content) or with some non-standard extension (could be the same content, but IDEs might need to be updated to treat the files as before)?
EDIT: I tried to hack on ni.exe with a hexeditor to experiment with the above to some extent but it did not not seem to like the changes
