GnuPG 1.4.0a for Windows

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi,

it seems the ZIP Archive packed does not correspond to the registry file supplied:

All files are unpacked into one directory, but the gnupg-w32.reg assumes the 
locale files are in a subdirectory named "Locale" ("MODir").

Despite of that I'd also suggest to put the documentation files into a 
subdirectory named "docs" or "man".

Generally I would create a subdirectory of %ProgramFiles% instead of 
%SystemDrive%. If your are working as non-Administrator, you access rights on the 
system drive may be limited.

German translation seems incomplete and be using inconsistent coding of Umlauts:
gpg: Keine gültigen OpenPGP-Daten gefunden.
gpg: processing message failed: eof

You need a user ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user I
from the Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form:
    "Heinrich Heine (Der Dichter) <heinrichh at duesseldorf.de>"

Ihr Name ("Vorname Nachname"):

GnuPG seems to create the key database outside of "HomeDir" registry value. Instad 
it seems to use %APPDATA%... (however this could be a left-over of having instaled 
GnuPT (Gnu Privacy Tray) before)
