When I exited to the GnupG directory and ran gpg --version I did not notice the gpg2.exe files there - it may well be they were there and I did not notice them though, as I have to admit to not having looked thoroughly. From my position of ignorance I suppose I was expecting gpg.exe to be the new versions 2 file - I did not realise it was a separate file. Had I thought a bit more at the time, I would have remembered that both versions can run alongside each other hence their must have been two files. > Reboot is not required in other cases - that's the theory.

Rather than the files being missing (which I think I've explained above) there were no menu entries or configuration tab etc in Outlook, so I *assumed* it had not installed at all. It was after the reboot and when the GnuPG configuration tab eventually appeared in Outlook that I looked further, and in browsing for the key manager file (under "advanced") I realised the GPG 2 files were all there. >> (unless anyone knows better?).

That could be the source of your problem That could well be - but I am well out of my depth here, so it did not occur to me. > GnuPG is not really supported yet - we merely install the command line > utilities. Well, all seems to be well now anyway, and it is a good point to thank all concerned for providing all these utilities for us. Your work is much appreciated. Regards, Bob
