Problems Using Kleopatra to Decrypt Files in Windows Explorer

[Andre Heinecke]

Hi Joe,

The part that provides Crypto functionality for the Windows Explorer is called 
GpgEx. It is currently not available for the 64bit Windows Explorer. 

We are currently applying for some funding, which will hopefully enable us to 
work on this and to provide a 64bit version of GPGEX. See:
http://lists.wald.intevation.org/pipermail/gpg4win-devel/2013-February/001194.html

So for now all you can do is wait for a new release that provides it.
By the way. Gpg4Win has its own mailing lists, ( 
http://gpg4win.de/community.html )  which would have been a more appropiate 
place to ask this.


Regards,
Andre
