I installed this version (2.1.1-svn1694) only after I had experienced the  
behavior I described with version 2.1.0. Then I searched for a solution  
and what I found was just said version, I don't remember where I actually  
got it from. I didn't know it was unbeknown to the developers.

Anyway, I have reinstalled the official release (2.1.0), and the behavior  
is still as mentioned in my previous post (tried to generate a new keyring  
in a directory that is not the home directory with "gpg2 --homedir  
some/other/directory --gen-key" and receive gpg-agent related IPC error).
Installing the newest beta of gpg4win (gpg 2.1.1-git93779b3) did not make  
a difference in this respect, either.

So, if you know of a way to mend this, tell me, please.

Kind regards,
Peter
