I assume you used 

  Gpg2 --batch --passphrase pass -o c:\temp\temp.txt -d c:\temp\file.pgp

That is two dashes for the long options.

--passphrase does not work with gpg2.  You will be asked by a pop-up
Window for the passphrase.  That requires that GnuPG has been fully
installed.

What version are you using.  Did you used a Gpg4win installer?

If you are using the command line you may want to add the option 

  -v 

to see more diagnostics.  If you are not using the latest gpg2 version it
is possible that the imported secret hast been protected using the IDEA
algorithms which - for patent reason was not support by older GnuPG
versions.  You need at least GnuPG 2.020 and Libgcrypt 1.5.2.  Running

  gpg2 --version

shows the the GnuPG and Libgcrypt version.


Salam-Shalom,
