Kleopatra couldn't determine the GnuPG home directory

[user5]

Hi Team

I am using Windows 11 24H2 and Gpg4win 4.3.1. The system language is zh_CN.

When I finish installing Gpg4win and open Kleopatra, Kleopatra does not work properly and prompts to set system variables. In addition, GNUPG can be used normally in CMD.

I’ve tried setting the system variable GUNPGHOME and uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, but none of them worked. I also tried switching the system language to en_US, and it didn’t work.

I found a post with a similar question in the forum. The difference is that no Chinese characters in my Gpg4win configuration file path.

I’ve tried a lot, and this really bothers me. Please help me.

Hi @user5

sorry to heard that you are having problems.

For us, the next step is to reproduce the problem, so we can analyse the situation and develop and improvement.

So the question from the other discussion is interesting:

Do you know an easy way to create a profile path with such characters on a German or Englisch Windows 10/11 system?

Can you also give an example GNUPGHOME variable that you have used?

(Did you set it in a way that Kleopatra will see the variable at startup? This may need to be set in the system environment.)

Regards,
Bernhard
