How to install and use the Gpgcom Windows Component
===================================================
2001-07-31
Installation should be pretty easy:
-----------------------------------
* Get and install the latest GnuPG binary for windows
(ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-1.0.6.zip)
* Check that you have an untampered version of this package by
comparing an MD5SUM against the one on the webpage or by checking
the signature of the package using "gpg --verify". See the
webpacge for details.
* Because you are reading this file, you probably have already
unpacked it distribution using a unzip utility :-). You should
find these files:
README - This file
gpgcom.exe - The Gpgcom server
vbtest.html - A Test webpage
vbtest.vbs - A VB script to be used with the cscript utility
* If you are updating Gpgcom, run the old Gpgcom like this:
c:\gnupg\gpgcom -UnregServer
(Replace c:\gnupg with the actually used path)
* Copy the file gpgcom.exe to a some location. C:\gnupg seems to be
a good choice.
* Register the component using this command:
c:\gnupg\gpgcom -RegServer
* Ready
Testing the installation:
-------------------------
* Make sure that you have a working GnuPG (gpg.exe) and that at least
one key is installed.
* Edit the vbtest.vbs script and replace "alice" in the line
gpg.AddRecipient "alice"
with a keyID or user name you have in your key ring.
* Run the test script:
cscript vbtest.vbs
and you should see a valid MIME message with the encrypted text.
Using Gpgcom
------------
Gpgcom currently support only encryption but will be extended to the
full range of operations GnuPG provides. The 2 examples should goive
yopu a hint on how to use it. We suggest that you always set armor to
true, so that the returned text is a string. If you don't use armor,
the "ciphertext" property will return an array with the binary
message.
