If you see this message: Error Code 225, you need to go over the following extra easy steps:

Fixing Windows Error 225

• Open Windows Security, go to Virus & threat protection Settings, click Allowed Threats

• Then click Protection history to see what file was quarantined at the time you attempt the installation 

• Since you trust VAN and hence the file and know it is safe, click on the status text on the right, in this example we choose Severe
• Once Windows turns the screen with a dark background stating Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your Windows Security? Click Yes
  
• Then select Restore
• You can run the installer or the app again
