SUMMARY

Microsoft Store: "GpgMe not Installed Correctly" error after update to 25.08.01

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

    1. Install Okular from the Microsoft Store on Windows 10.

    2. Ensure it is updated to the latest version (25.08.01, updated on or
around September 9th, 2025).

    3. Open any PDF file.

OBSERVED RESULT

An error dialog box appears with the following message:

---

# GpgMe not Installed Correctly

gpgme-w32spawn.exe was not found in the detected installation directory of
GpgME
"C:\ProgramFiles\WindowsApps\KDEe.V.Okular_20.801.6694.0_x64__8vt06qxq8ptv8\bin"

Crypto operations will not work.

If you see this it indicates a problem with your installation. Please report
the problem to your distributor of GpgME.

Developer's Note: The install dir can be manually set with
gpgme_set_global_flag

---

EXPECTED RESULT

The PDF file should open without any error message. The GpgMe dependency should
be correctly included in the Microsoft Store package.
