How to apply DigiCert EV certificate for ClickOnce application

OK, so I have this certificate, but I don’t understand how to apply it to my application.

I went to the Visual Studio properties page and clicked on "signature". I checked the box that says, "Sign the ClickOnce manifest," I was able to select my EV certificate from the store. All information is displayed in the "certificate" field, including "Issued: Signing DigiCert EV Code". I filled out the timestamp URI provided by DigiCert.

Then I start publishing the application, but when I install it, I still get an “unknown publisher”, and the Windows 8 SmartScreen filter gives a warning.

Obviously, I'm either doing something wrong, or I need something else, I just don’t know what it is.
