can't connect to `C:/Program Files/GNU/GnuPG//S.gpg-agent'

[David Gray]

Hi, 

Has anyone got any idea how to resolve the following error: 

can't connect to `C:/Program Files/GNU/GnuPG//S.gpg-agent'

I get this error when issuing the following command 

gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --batch --output out.dat --decrypt in.pgp

This worked fine until a few days ago but now it won't work at all.  

There's nothing wrong with the file because it decrypts fine without the

passphrase-fd argument. 

Setup is Windows XP Pro and PGP is...

C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG\Work>gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.12 (Gpg4win 2.0.0)
libgcrypt 1.4.4
