After updating gpg4win Vanilla 2.1.0 to 2.1.1 I noticed that Enigmail was
throwing an error about the OpenPGP service not working.
Opening a command prompt in Windows 7 and issuing the following commands:
cd "C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG\pub"
.\gpg.exe --version
produced an error message that libgpg-error-0.dll was not found on the system.
This file, and maybe others?, is missing from Vanilla 2.1.1.

Please check whether
C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG\libgpg-error-0.dll
exists.
You may also test whether there is some problem with the gpg wrapper. You may
also want to test
c:
cd c:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG
gpg2 --version
Werner,
I did exactly the steps you requested for the original bug report. The file
libgpg-error-0.dll is not installed.
I Just installed gpg4win-vanilla 2.2.1 on a clean VM to check this.
As you can see in the screenshot everything is there and works as expected.
Is it possible that some kind of "Security Software" silently blocked the
installation of libgpg-error for you?
Maybe you could try to install it again into another Directory and check if it
is still missing?
This is very odd. I did several installs of Vanilla-2.2.1 and gpg --version
always failed with a missing libgpg-error-0.dll error and a search of the
C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG directory and below did not locate the file.
On the same day, I did a custom install of Light-2.2.1 and that worked fine.
Today I downloaded Vanilla-2.2.1 again and replaced Light-2.2.1 with it (I made
sure the install directory was deleted by the uninstall of Light also) and it
works as in the screenshot.
I am running Microsoft Security Essentials but have never seen it quarantine or
block any files from programs I have installed.
I don't understand why an install works today and didn't previously but I guess
that's Windows for you ;-)
Thank you for taking the time to look at this and I guess it can be closed.
