Thank you, Werner. The system already has GPG installed and they won't want a second copy, I'm sure. I thought GPG4Win added a new context menu item that would allow easier file encryption. If not then they don't need anything else.

Thanks!
Anthony

Quick question: are there any security concerns with running GnuPG and
GPG4Win on the same system?

Gpg4win is an installer which includes GnuPG as its crypto engine.  In
fact, Gpg4win is the suggested way to install GnuPG on Windows.

In case your question is whether you can use the GnuPG 1.4 installer
along with Gpg4win (which comes with GnuPG 2): This is not suggested but should not pose a security problem. Note, that you will end up with two
programs named gpg on your box - this may lead to  some confusion.


Shalom-Salam,
