Due to a lot of changes in the GTK+ GUI toolkit each Windows installer release of 2.1 was pretty troublesome and took a lot of time. Thus I decided to drop it entirely so that we are able to a Windows release of the GnuPG core within a few hour and be confident not to introduce severe regressions. It would have been possible to keep GpgEx in the installer but without GPA or Kleopatra GpgEX is of not much use, thus it has also been dropped. The idea is to have one installer for GnuPG and crypto library code and another installers for the GUI parts. The main problem with this is that we do not have a suitable packaging system on Windows and unfortunately attempts to agree on a free software for windows packaging system have all failed. And before you ask: no, MSI does not work for us. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
