I’m trying to install a device driver using a signed cab file on a 32bit Windows 7. It’s part of a silent installation that should be possible without any user interventions. However, I’m still seeing a security popup:
This is the signature of the cab and the cert chain:
What am I missing to make it secure enough to avoid the warning popup?
Uh no, ignoring the soon to be WHQL only mode of W10, if you pre-install
your public half of your signing cert before installing your driver then
there is no popup. So use an installer and stage the cert install before
the driver install.

Thanks Mark but I’m not sure I can preinstall a public key for an EV certificate on a hardware token? I’ve tried to confirm with support of the issuing company and they confirmed this.
I personally hate installers that install new certificates into my trust. It is the list of certificates that I trust. Not the list of ones that you tell me that I should trust so that no security warning appears when I install your software. But I understand why it gets done
