Answer 1

Hi,

If you signed the installer with a purchased certificate from a CA, you are supposed to contact the CA for explanation on why they failed to work with Microsoft to get rid of this warning.

If the certificate is not from a CA, but a self-signed certificate, you will have to resort to a CA.

Please check the following link for detailed information:

Thanks for your time!
Best Regards,
Anne
