I see, thankyou.
Would you please update a webpage http://www.gnupg.org/download/supported_systems.en.html, too?
BTW,
the following message appeared when running gpg.exe at the only first time on Vista.
| gpg: DBG: rndw32: get performance data problem
In detail, it will be output before creating the random_seed file.
and this message disappears when turn-off UAC from Vista's control panel.
>From source code in cipher/rndw32.c:
static void
slow_gatherer_windowsNT(void (*add)(const void*, size_t, int), int requester )
{
(snip)
status = RegQueryValueEx (HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA, "Global", NULL,
NULL, (LPBYTE) pPerfData, &dwSize);
if (status == ERROR_SUCCESS) {
(snip)
}
else {
g10_log_debug ( "rndw32: get performance data problem\n");
break;
}
Under the environment with UAC on Vista, it will be refused to access
HKEY_PERFORMACE_DATA even if user has administrator privilege.
I think this is not serious problem, because a random_seed is made from
another part.
Is this right?
Thanks.
