Now looked a bit longer at the downloaded files and found a subfolder
"complus" where ther is reference to a Windows com server gpgcom.exe.
According to the README the gpgcom.exe should be part of the archive,
but it is not...

  * Because you are reading this file, you probably have already
    unpacked it distribution using a unzip utility :-). You should
    find these files:

       README      - This file
       gpgcom.exe  - The Gpgcom server <== Cannot be found!
       vbtest.html - A Test webpage 
       vbtest.vbs  - A VB script to be used with the cscript utility

So it seems like on Windows one is out of luck and must go the long
distance....

(And all because GpgEx won't work on Win 7 X64....)
