In the Local Service user's hive create a Registry key:
HKCU\Software\GNU\GNUPG
Within this key create the following value
Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Name: HomeDir
Value: %APPDATA%\GnuPG
There are other values, but HomeDir is the more important. The GnuPG installer
only creates these values for the user running the installer.
Then make sure that the directory %APPDATA%\GnuPG exists and contains the
keyring files: pubring.gpg, secring.gpg, and trustdb.gpg; containing the secret
key (and its public half) needed for decryption and any public keys needed for
verification.
Being the Local Service user, this profile is probably also local, so
%APPDATA%\GnuPG probably expands to
"C:\Documents and Settings\Local Service\Application Data\GnuPG"
