The detection of 'TR/Dropper.Gen' is a generic, heuristic attempt to guess that a program is a virus when it has machine code that looks like it could be a new virus that hasn't been discovered yet. If you scan with something other than Avira, you will notice that the installer and all of its contents (pre and post-installation) are clean.
Take a look at Google for "TR/Dropper.Gen false positive" and you'll see tens of thousands of results. Judging from the first few dozen I've read, they all seem to be coming from Avira.
Nonetheless, I absolutely encourage you to error on the side of caution and not install or use software that you do not trust, even if it's my software.
