I'm not really sure what the current state of Kontact integration is in 4.10.2 
there was an incompatibility between the libraries built by KDE-Windows and 
GPG4Win last time I've tried Kontact on Windows (But I can't remember if this 
only affected S/MIME support).

What you need is at least to have Gpg4Win ( http://gpg4win.org/ ) installed, 
which provides the GnuPG stack that is required.

If it works then after installing Gpg4Win launching Kleopatra (from your 
KDE-Windows directory, not from the Gpg4Win directory) should show no 
self-test errors. If there are still errors please let us know.

Regards,
Andre
