Gpg4win contains the official binaries of GnuPG for windows.
I think 1.4.x will work, but I wouldn't recommend it in the general case.
The stable 2.0.x is much more suited for use on Windows operation systems.

During installation you can choose to only install a subset of what is within 
the package.

Note that development of GnuPG for windows especially depends on funding,
which currently is lacking, so the future of any maintained GnuPG port for 
windows is doubtful if this funding cannot be found.

Best Regards,
Bernhard
