Configuring gpg-agent to run in Windows

I would like to decrypt files in batch mode using GPG2 on a Windows 7 machine.

I have so far been unable to make it work. I suspect I haven’t configured the gpg-agent properly as I get the following error when I try to cache the passphrase:

C:\GnuPG>gpg-agent --daemon --allow-preset-passphrase --write-env-file --batch
–debug-level 9 -vv
gpg-agent[21568]: enabled debug flags: command mpi crypto memory cache memstat a

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hi Megan,
my suggestion is that you ask that question on one of the gnupg mailinglists again.
Please include the precise version number of the installation package.

Looks like a defect in the software, would need to create a report in the tracker
that allows reproduction.

Best,
Bernhard
