Normal but outdated ;-)

This says (badly) that this file is not encrypted to the private key you have.

Please update to Gpg4win-3.1.0 it's much better at detecting / importing 
certificates and allows you to import certificates by double click.

No, the error is that the file is not encrypted to your private key. Changing 
the passphrase won't help.

Kleopatra 3.1.0 should show an improved error and show you to which keys it is 
actually encrypted.

Alternatively you can open the command line (cmd.exe) and call
 "gpg --decrypt <thefile>" this will definetly show to which keys it is 
encrypted.
