GnuPG vs. GPG4Win

[Rohit P]

Thanks.


I downloaded the second item from the link you provided. It has no front-end and the readme file says it can be run only from command-line.

That would come from some frontend or Explorer plugin, not from GnuPG
itself.

GPG4win is GnuPG 2.0.x bundled with a choice of certificate managers,
plugins for Outlook and Windows Explorer, and the Gpg4win Compendium
documentation. They also have "light" and "vanilla" downloads that
eschew some or all of the extras.

Windows binaries for GnuPG versions 2.1.x and 1.4.x are the second and
third items listed at <https://gnupg.org/download/index.html#sec-1-2>.

The first list item points you to the GPG4win download page.

It is easy to propose impossible remedies.
