Location of GnuPG 1.4.11 Windows binary

[Jonathan Ely]

You must have missed my enquiry from some time in July. I was looking
for it as well only to copy the link location of one of the FTP links
and do some self-searching. It would be useful if they announce 1.x.x
upgrades so people will not have to randomly decide when to check the
directory for an upgrade. I installed GPG4WIN and uninstalled it because
it was just too much for me and the 1.x.x branch is more simple for me
anyway since I only need it for the Enigmail extension.
