Error for first time start on Windows XP

I am running on Windows XP Win32. I have installed GnuPG for Windows successfully. I select the GPA from the Start Menu and get the following error. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Fatal Error in GPGME Library
(invoked from file /home/wk/src/gpg4win11/build/gpg4win-1.1.14/src/playground/build/gpa-0.8.0/src/confdialog.c, line 1447):

Unsupported protocol

The application will be terminated.

Seems to be a common issue…

Solutions might be to use WinPT or GPGshell as alternatives…
