This is because Microsoft expects all software authors to pay lots of cash to certificate authorities in order to get rid of the warning. No money - warning remains. There's no way around it.
To quote a tutorial on the subject: "We purchased a SHA-2 certificate from them in July 2015, and it seems to work fine for almost everything we need. It only costs about $219 per year."
The "only" $219 is insurmountable for an open source project which does not have a budget.
The upside is you can simply ignore the warning and run anyway. Nothing bad will happen.
