Please update your installation.

IIUC, you are talking about (old version of) gpg4win, which is based on
GnuPG 2.0.x, and you are trying to use new feature(s) of GnuPG 2.2, like
ECC.


I am running on linux (Debian) and i am on git master (2.3.0-beta82) and it
complains:
WARNING: server 'gpg-agent' is older than us (2.1.8 < 2.3.0-beta82)

And then:
IPC parameter error.

When trying to pass a batch from shell.

I don't know if the warning causes the second fatal error but probably.
