I think this is a different bug. When I use a pinentry from gpg4win I run into 
the gpg-agent crash described in this thread but still can do things that 
involve pinentry like signing.

If I use the pinentry-basic included in the gnupg-w32 installer I get the "No 
pinentry" error.
So it looks like pinentry-basic also has a Problem on Windows > 8.1

I've not reported a bug for this but I keep it in mind. (The issues are likely 
related)

Works fine on Windows 7 though, curious.

Regards,
Andre
