On my system this is

 C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\werner\Anwendungsdaten\gnupg\S.gpg-agent

You can get all these values using:

  c:\Programme\GNU\GnuPG>gpgconf --list-dirs
  sysconfdir:C%3a\Dokumente und Einstellunge[...]aten\GNU\etc\gnupg
  bindir:c%3a\Programme\GNU\GnuPG
  libexecdir:c%3a\Programme\GNU\GnuPG
  libdir:c%3a\Programme\GNU\GnuPG\lib\gnupg
  datadir:c%3a\Programme\GNU\GnuPG\share\gnupg
  localedir:c%3a\Programme\GNU\GnuPG\share\locale
  dirmngr-socket:C%3a\WINDOWS\S.dirmngr
  agent-socket:C%3a\Dokumente und Eins[...]gsdaten\gnupg\S.gpg-agent
  homedir:C%3a\Dokumente und Einstellungen\werner\Anwendungsdaten\gnupg
  
This is a colon delimited and percent escaped output, thus the %3a for
the colons in the filenames.


Shalom-Salam,
