Add-in is blocked by default on any new machine

Hello, I have been developing an add-in. And the add-in is otherwise working good. Just one item is left and that is the add-in is blocked by default whenever it is installed on a machine for the first time. Once, you unblock it, it starts working correctly. My .addin file looks something like below,

<Addin Type="Standard">  <ClassId>{aad50858-8cd2-4142-8810-0c53eccd696c}</ClassId> <ClientId>{aad50858-8cd2-4142-8810-0c53eccd696c}</ClientId> <DisplayName>XYZ Addin for Inventor</DisplayName> <Description>XYZ Addin for Inventor</Description> <Assembly>C:\XYZ\XYZ.InventorAddin.dll</Assembly> <LoadOnStartUp>1</LoadOnStartUp> <LoadAutomatically>1</LoadAutomatically> <UserUnloadable>1</UserUnloadable> <Hidden>0</Hidden> <SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan>22..</SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan> <DataVersion>1</DataVersion> <UserInterfaceVersion>1</UserInterfaceVersion> </Addin>

Once I pass go to Addin Manager and unblock it, it starts loading successfully. My binaries are signed and have a valid certificate. Shown as, "File is signed and has valid certificates."

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue.
