gpgex crashes Win7 64bit when using GNUPGHOME
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When I used the default home directory
C:\Users\Wende\AppData\Roaming\gnupg
everything was fine.

When I set GNUPGHOME in my system, gpgex crashes
as soon as I select any action from the context menu.

I use GPG4Win 2.2.0 on Win7 64bit.

Hi Henning,
thanks for your feedback on Gpg4win and of trying the new Gpgex.

Can you help us further by trying to get some more diagnostic output?
See the link in the last section of http://gpg4win.org/reporting-bugs.html

Best,
Bernhard

Actually, I can't.
The link you provided leads to a site with some general infos.
There is another link into the compendium with infos about
some GPG4Win components but not a single word on gpgex.

So HOW do I provide some more diagnostic output?

Thanks for asking again, I did not remember that GPGex was missing from the
compendium.

It works similiar to GpgOL, see
http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-
bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gpgex.git;a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=HEAD
and in German:

Please provide a proper bug report so that we are able to replicate this. For
example, how did you set GNUGHOME, what process have been started before that
etc. A complete run trough on how to exhibit the bug would be a appreciated.

The crash happen regardless of what I did before. Usually I use Q-Dir as file
browser. When I trigger a gpgex action via context menu in one Q-Dir OR Windows
Explorer the program (the one I used) crashes.

I set GNUPGHOME as a user variable via Windows' Extended System Settings.

I followed Bernhard's suggestion and attached the GpgEX debug log.

Maybe this is relevant:
I only installed gpg, gpgEX and GPA from the GPG4Win package.

Using gpg.exe on the command line works perfect.
I can en- and decrypt files and sign and whatnot.
Only gpgEX is affected.

For diagnostic reasons: could you try with Kleopatra as well?
