Thanks for replying.
C:\Users\me>gpg2 --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.20 (Gpg4win 2.1.1)
libgcrypt 1.5.2
C:\Users\me>Gpg2 -v --batch --passphrase pass -o c:\temp\temp.txt -d c:\
temp\temp.txt.pgp
gpg: public key is 727A253D
gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID 727A253D
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
C:\Users\me>
I am using the same keyring as PGP Desktop and I am able to decrypt the file
with that program.
Thanks for the help.

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,
Werner
