Having only just recently installed gpg on a Windows 2000 computer I can =
say that there was
nothing unusual about the installation.
Now, first I'm going to assume that we use the same version of gpg -- =
this is the gpg win32=20
binaries release version 1.0.6. inside of the zip file is gpg.exe, which =
you can place on the
directory "C:\winnt" on most installations of windows 2000. There's =
nothing magic about
this location, it's just one of the places that you can expect will =
automatically be in the
directory search path. Now you open a DOS prompt screen and type "gpg =
-h" to get a
description of the usage. Or is it "gpg --help"?
Of course, you'll have to allow gpg to create a "c:\gnupg" directory and =
populate it with
some empty database files. To do this you first type something like =
"gpg" to start up=20
gpg in the default mode, and it will do some complaining. You type =
control-<C> to get out
of this mode. Pretty soon you are typing "gpg --list-keys" and gpg is =
responding that=20
there are no keys to list or maybe it gives you an empty list or =
something like that.
Your first task with gpg is to create some keys for yourself, or import =
them from your
PGP keyring.
GPG doesn't do any fancy installing of itself (Win32 binary version). =
Oh, in the linux
or Unix version you can expect to have to configure and compile the =
program, but not
with the binaries. Just run the program. It runs from the command =
prompt. There=20
are lots of "options" and "commands" you need to be aware of. Get that =
information=20
from the "GNU Privacy Handbook" found at www.gnupg.org under =
"documents", from=20
the readme files and from the help screen.

To whom it may concern
I just downloaded the latest GnuPG version. I have a Celeron 500 CPU =
and use Winodws 2000. Unfortunately I could not install the programm =
after unzipping it. Do you know the problem?
