Manual registry editing is not needed - the installer handles all the entries
GnuPG needs.

Likewise, there is no need to copy or do anything else with iconv.dll. As a
general rule of thumb, copying things into %systemroot%\system32 is to be
avoided. The iconv library is only needed for NLS support. If gpg needs it and
cannot find it, it will issue a warning and continue executing.

Werner posted that the installer correctly handles iconv; ie if the DLL is found
in your path, the installer does nothing; if not found or too old, it places a
copy of iconv.dll into the GnuPG program directory. [GnuPG-Devel 2005-03-17]
