I have been tasked with installing GnuPG and GPG Shell onto Windows XP (then onto Windows Vista) to decrypt data files currently using PGP Command-Line software. I have installed GnuPG for Windows (version Version 1.1.4 ) from the http://gpg4win.org/ website. It appears to load successfully, but GPA throws a fatal error "Fatal Error in GPGME Library. (invoked from file /home/wk/src/gpg4win11/build/gpg4win-1.1.4/ src/playground/build/gpa-0.8.0/src/confdialog.c, line 1447) Unsupported protocol The application will be terminated"
So, I continued on and installed the GPG Shell product from http://www.jumaros.de/rsoft/index.html. I loaded some public and secret keys that were created from the PGP Command-Line software successfully. I can decrypt a file using the GPG Tools function. But when I try to use the PGP commands with options from a DOS prompt (or command prompt) gpg --decrypt C\DATA\CD.txt --output C:\DATA\CD.icf --passphrase my_pass I get the following: Usage: gpg [options] --decrypt [filename] If I evoke gpg first, I get: gpg: Go ahead and type your message . . . Then enter: gpg --decrypt C\DATA\CD.txt --output C:\DATA\CD.icf --passphrase my_pass The command prompt hangs. I would think it is a problem with the GnuPG installation, but would the GPG Shell work? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
