I have a driver software I compiled for windows 7. I have used DigiCert Code signing certificate (CN = DigiCert Trusted G4 Code Signing RSA4096 SHA384 2021 CA1) to sign the installation package. With the previous version of this driver, I used Verisign certificate (VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2010 CA). The new DigiCert one is using SHA256 signature algorithm and Verisign had SHA1 alg. When I installed the previous version of driver (Verisign signed), I never had a windows security warning screen pops up asking "Would you like to install this device software". But with new DigiCert I have that warning pops up. I'm trying to avoid this warning as my software is usually installed in unattended environments. Things I have tried so far
- Updated my windows 7 with below updates to support SHA2 code signing KB4474419 and KB4490628
- Prior to driver installation, added the certificate manually under Trusted Publishers list using certutil command
Any help with this is highly appreciated.
