Missing NASL file error

I was updating my docker container package and noticed the following error message in the logs when conducting a test scan. Note: using all of the latest release packages from github and instructions posted either in the build from source instructions.

sd   main:WARNING:2025-02-14 14h21.48 utc:50067:7c3d1ed9-8a35-41dc-91f7-f91997ed38ee: There was a problem trying to load gsf/gb_gather_software_list_win.nasl, a dependency of AnyDesk Desktop Detection (Windows SMB Login). This may be due to a parse error, or it failed to find the dependency. Please check the path to the file.

I verified the plugins folder and confirmed that the file doesn’t exist.

The scan seems to be running fine, but I haven’t tested on or against a windows system to see if issues will occur. I will run a test but figured I would let you know of the issues.
