Looking into it a little, for a Windows installer you need to use
Authenticode and a digital certificate.  Microsoft will only recognize
certificates from a few companies.  It's not cheap, $100+ to $400+ per
year.

Here's a link to a pretty good summary:

I haven't found a link to information on getting a certificate as a
non-profit as opposed to a commercial vendor.  I'm not sure if there
is a way to get a cheaper certificate.  (Well, you can get cheaper
certifcates, but Microsoft won't recognize them during an install.)
