It's possible with a "regular" certificate as well, it just takes some time for the cert signature to become whitelisted at Microsoft (they track user installs). We use a regular (cheaper) code signing cert from Digicert. For a while, users running our installer would still get a SmartScreen warning, but as the number of installs grew, at some point the warning disappeared due to whitelisting. An EV certificate would establish trust faster, and I think the rules behind the whitelisting is rather undocumented.
