Tip for normal/non-admin accounts: Choose HKCU as the target in my GPGSelector, select the GPG.exe you want under Custom, and hit set. That's it. Maddes |

Hi everybody, as it seems that this problem won't be fixed, either in the installer or GPGme, I decided to code a small program to help everyone in creating the necessary registry values. So check out my GPGselector, download from http://www.maddes.net/freeware/files/GPGselector_20060902.zip (8KB) Source for Visual C++ 2005 is available too at http://www.maddes.net/freeware/files/GPGselector_src20060902.zip (13KB) I hope that a future GnuPG installer will ask you to create/update this registry value when installing to a non-default directory. Regards Maddes |

It's a problem in Werner Koch's GPGme, I will post a bug report in the GPG4win tracker and also try to contact Werner about this problem. Maddes |

Thanks for the detailed analysis! Can you make a bug report out of it? (since it is related more to Gpg4win, the bug tracker on this site is appropriate rather than the ugly GpgOL one). |

The last information is correct: installing into the default folder fixes this problem. The reason for this is as following: The code of "_gpgme_get_gpg_path()" in "w32-util.c" searches for a GPG regkey named "gpgProgram" in "Software\GNU\GnuPG" of HKCU and HKLM, but this key is no more available since GnuPG 1.41, so GPGol defaults to "%program_files%\GNU\GNUPG". Workarounds: Have GPG.exe in "%program_files%\GNU\GNUPG" or create regkey "HKLM\Software\GNU\GnuPG\gpgProgram" that points to your GnuPG installation. So I copied the GPGOL.DLL and the SHARE folder to my existing GnuPG installation, added the following registry settings and everything works fine. [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42d30988-1a3a-11da-c687-000d6080e735}] @="GPGol - The GPG Outlook Plugin" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42d30988-1a3a-11da-c687-000d6080e735}\InprocServer32] @="D:\\Programme\\Security\\GnuPG\\gpgol.dll" "ThreadingModel"="Neutral" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Extensions] "GPGol"="4.0;D:\\Programme\\Security\\GnuPG\\gpgol.dll;1;11000111111100" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\GNUPG] "gpgProgram"="D:\\Programme\\Security\\GnuPG\\gpg.exe" If any weird errors occur when starting Outlook, then just rename the file "extend.dat" from "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook" Possible code solutions: a) GPGol should try the regkey "Install Directory" plus "\bin" to find GPG.exe b) Call "gpg.exe" without any path, as the correct GPG folder should be always in a user's path, isn't it? c) Maybe different ways to determine the path depending on the version d) Does another function provide this info similar to the GPG name (gpg->filename)?

I'd hit the same problem. Deinstallation from a custom directory and install into the default directory solved it. |

Hi all, Had the same problem and it turned out that removing all files and reg-keys of an old gnupg-installation by hand was the only way to get it fixed... |

I am pretty sure that your old GnuPG installation causes the trouble. But I have no idea how or why. Can you double-check you removed all the old stuff from the disk? |

I'm using Windows XP Professional SP2, gpg4win version 1.0.0 (released 2006-04-06) and there has been the original GnuPG package from gnupg.org, which I uninstalled. I also cleaned the registry before installing gpg4win so I can't imagine that there has been some rest of the gnupg-package. |
RE: Nothing working just after installation [ Reply ] By: Jan-Oliver Wagner on 2006-04-10 22:19 | [forum:250] |
Which Windows Version are you using? Which gpg4win version did you install? Have there been other gpg installations on your system? |

Hello everyone! I got a serious problem with the current version of gpg4win: When I start GPA I get the error message (translated from my german version) "invalig crypto-engine". I can proceed and GPA comes up but I can't create any keys or import anything. GPGOL isn't working too since I cannot open the keymanager. Anyone got an idea? I just installed it and everything went fine during the installation... Greets, lynix |
