I've had differing experiences. Note that if you've been distributing before you got the cert part of that rep will carry over as its also a function of the exe signature.

I would check if something in the signing process is going wrong, refer to this (very long) SO thread: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/109629/deprecat...
