Well I just used VirScan to scan the installer and all of them say its clean, including Panda.

MsgPlusLive-470.exe Scan Result (for WLM 8.5)
MsgPlusLive-479.exe Scan Result (for WLM 2009)

Matt, can you screenshot when it alerts you of the trojan and post it here?

Correct. The sponsor is the reason why the installer is sometimes falsely alerted as a virus/trojan/etc. From what he said, as soon as he runs the installer it brings up the trojan alert, meaning that it wouldn't make any difference whether or not the sponsor was installed or not.
