When I exited to the GnupG directory and ran gpg --version I did not
notice the gpg2.exe files there - it may well be they were there and I
did not notice them though, as I have to admit to not having looked
thoroughly. From my position of ignorance I suppose I was expecting
gpg.exe to be the new versions 2 file - I did not realise it was a
separate file. Had I thought a bit more at the time, I would have
remembered that both versions can run alongside each other hence their
must have been two files.

Rather than the files being missing (which I think I've explained above)
there were no menu entries or configuration tab etc in Outlook, so I
*assumed* it had not installed at all. It was after the reboot and when
the GnuPG configuration tab eventually appeared in Outlook that I looked
further, and in browsing for the key manager file (under "advanced") I
realised the GPG 2 files were all there.

That could well be - but I am well out of my depth here, so it did not
occur to me.

Well, all seems to be well now anyway, and it is a good point to thank
all concerned for providing all these utilities for us. Your work is
much appreciated.
