Title: Gpg4win Fails - Need Supported Alternative Please
Post by: TweedleDum on April 15, 2012, 07:55 am
From the Gpg4win software bundle, both GPA and Kleopatra crash. Anyone got another down-loadable bundle with the right tools - even paid?

Install thunderbird, then install this
Don't get why GPA would crash. 64bit windows?

Also:
D:\TEMP>gpg --recipient vendorskey@whatever.com --armor --encrypt my-file.txt

Derp. I had a feeling that the five (!!) downloads and installations of Gpg4win had somethin' wrong with the files or installation. So I got a brand new copy of the bundle from a site other than the one I tried the first five times, and installed everything except Claws mail. Removed some fussy VPN software, so it makes me mildly suspicious that was part of the problem.

Launched GPA and easily created the first key. This time when I launched GPA the only difference was that when it asked me if I wanted to backup the key during creation, I declined. Then I copied the key later to a secure, encrypted location. Derp.

Oh, and BTW, Kleopatra still crashes and burns at launch. Next.

Try Portable PGP it's easy to use and free. :)

I'm with Duffman - Portable PGP can be installed and run from a USB. Encrypt it for good measure, the interface is simple and clean and decryption/encryption is very fast.
