I haven’t been able to find anything in the readme, the support documents, or on this forum regarding this error. Since installing the gpg4win on a 64-bit HP laptop, it’s done this ever since I first installed it and tried to create a just a “test key”. I’ve tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it, now whenever the program starts, it starts with this error, doesn’t give you an option to create a new key now after installing and re-installing- just shows that error that never goes away.
Can anyone help me? Any ideas, even?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
I have read about your issue and have tried to reproduce it on a Windows 10. These information below may help you:
Usually, I use Windows 10 Pro and Gpg4win with Kleopatra and it works fine. But in this case I uninstalled Gpg4win, Kleopatra and GnuPG with the following steps:
“Control Panel” → “Programs” → “Uninstall a program” → right click “Gpg4win” and “Kleopatra” and “GnuPG” → “Uninstall”
I have downloaded “gpg4win-4.0.0.exe” → from “https://www.gpg4win.org/” → in the Downloads folder right click on “gpg4win-4.0.0(.exe)” and “Run as administrator” → next window click “Yes”
Now I have chosen my preferred language (English) → Welcome message “Next” → Attention: here you can choose the components and in this case I have chosen “GPA” instead of “Kleopatra” → “first check GPA, GpgOL, GpgEX and also possible the Browser integration, if you want to use it” than “unchecked Kleoparta”. → “Next” → “Install” → “Next” → “Finish”
In this step I’ve opened GPA “GNU Privacy Assistant” and created a new key and set a Passphrase (Password). Everything works fine, no error messages. Sending encrypted E-Mail also works fine.
