GnuPG 1.4.19 - Encryption Questions

[Clark Rivard]

Thanks, Werner. 

I got it to work.  I had syntax errors in the gpg commands.  

Question though - the gpg.conf file is optional?   If I want one I must create it?

You better run

  gpg --version 

to see which directory is the default homedir of GnuPG.  You your files to that directory.  If you need a gpg.conf put it into the same directory.

Transcript error?  It should be ".gpg" and not ".pgp"

Please consider to use the installer from Gpg4win.org instead.
