We need to see whether we can use the gpgconf.ctl feature also for Windows here. Registry entries for gpd and vsd also require a change.

We also need to tweak the Windows installer and probably also Kleopatra. For example we use use standard registry entries for all products.

For vsd on Windows this will be solved due to the use of gnupg-vsd as default homedir. We already tested this with a beta MSI installer

I'm not working on this anymore. Kleopatra should be prepared for using VSD, GPD, and Gpg4win in parallel (provided they use different homedirs). What's left is the actual parallel installation which might be solved in part by using NSIS for Gpg4win and MSI for VSD/GPD. I'm not sure how the parallel installation of different versions of gnupg is solved, but I guess Werner has that covered.

That works using a gpgconf.ctl file side by side to gpgconf{,.exe}
