[Gpg4win-users-en] headaches from gpg4win on Vista (more information)

[Subba Rao]

While I tried to execute GPG from Vista command line, I got the following messages.

===========
C:\Users\Subbarao\Documents\gnupg>gpg --import secring.gpg

After digging a bit on the Internet I found this forum and read an email posted by Glen "Report on Vista, Office 2007, Outlook 2007".  I have edited the registry and include the same paths as Glen did.   I have even went back to gpg4win version 1.0.9 to see if that will work.  I continue to get the same error messages.

Here is what I am getting when I try to start WinPT:
A message box "gpg.exe has stopped working" appears with the text,
"Windows is collecting more information about the problem.  This may take several minutes..."

The process ends with a last message box "Key Cache" which says "Internal Error."

GNU Privacy Assistant also throws the same message boxes but eventually the main dialog appears.  When I try to import the GPG keys, the "gpg.exe has  stopped working" message box starts to appear.

I would like to get gpg to work on Vista.  If someone could help me to get this utility to work that would be great.

Thank you in advance for any help.
