[Gpg4win-users-en] Is there a way to operate Gpg via command line portably from a USB stick

[L]

Is there a way to use Gpg via windows command line terminal with Gpg
installed on USB stick? No attempt I have made to do this, with Gpg
installed on USB stick and accessible to Thunderbird/Enigmail, has
worked. At best I can nevigate to the Gpg folder, and activate its .exe,
but entering Gpg commands produces only an unknown command response.
