I also downloaded GnuPT and installed that, which comes with 1.4.9 and
running that also causes gpg.exe crashes.
I then took all of the EXEs from w32cli install and copied them over to
the GnuPT folder and had the same result.
I am really at a loss as to how to get a GUI interface to work with GnuPG.
What should I try next?
Please QUIT installing add-ons until the program is working. You won't fix it by
throwing more code at the problem.
It sounds like your system is still finding the GPG4win binaries first.
You may verify that by opening a command window (Start->Run-> cmd.exe click OK)
then enter the command
gpg --version
The first line of output should either specify 1.4.7 if the GPG4win code is
found first, 1.4.9 otherwise. If it's 1.4.7, enter the command
path
That will display the value of the PATH environment variable.
C:\Program Files\Gnu\GnuPG\pub will likely occur before
C:\Program Files\Gnu\GnuPG. That's what is causing your problem.
To fix it, you may either edit the PATH value (Control Panel -> System ->
Advanced -> Environment Variables)
Perhaps the easiest would be to run both the GnuPG for Windows (GPG4Win) and
GnuPG uninstallers. Then delete any files remaining in
C:\Program Files\Gnu\GnuPG. Re-run the gnupg-w32cli-1.4.9.exe installer.
Open a fresh command window and give the command 'gpg --version' again. It
should report 1.4.9 as the version.
I see you are using Thunderbird. Are you also wishing to use Enigmail for email
OpenPGP use? If so, set it up npw and get it working next. If you already have
keys, you do not need to generate a new key pair unless you just want to.

If you wish a separate GUI similar to PGP's most PGP users I know who have moved
to GnuPG prefer GPGshell. Download and unzip the installer from
http://www.jumaros.de/rsoft/index.html. I like to install GPGshell as a
subdirectory under GnuPG (C:\Program Files\Gnu\GnuPG\GPGshell)
I removed everything and rebooted. Then went and installed just the
command line component. The version shows as 1.4.9 and the path
variable is correct.
I tried this command:
gpg -K
gog.exe crashed and the command line window give this info:
gpg: checking the trustdb
Assertion failed: keyblock->pkt->pkttype == PKT_PUBLIC_KEY, file
keyring.c, line
1387
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Hopefully this will help troubleshoot this a little. If there is
anything I can do to debug or produce a log file, just let me know.
Thanks again.
