I just stripped out the revoked certificate entirely so at least it's working now.
Well, technically this arrangement is intended to protect you ... although it seems as if there should be different options depending on whether a certificate is simply expired or whether it has been revoked.

Global solutions (disable UAC) seem like a very bad idea to solve a local (single exe) problem. The operating system really should offer something more selective. Interesting to see the option you did find, thanks for sharing that.
