Latest version is not follwing conf.ini inst_gpgol = false

Latest version is not following inst_gpgol = false directive from conf.ini provided in silent installation.
It started in some of the latest versions, dont remember which one.
Been using the same config files in my env. since 3 version.
If I install using the gui, gpg for outlook is not installed, if i use a config file, ig gets installed anyway, though other options from cong.ini are working (like shortcuts, etc.)

ppl have closed all forms of bug reporting, so i just hope this gets fixed someday

It is possible to report defects, here, on the gnupg-users@ mailinglist or on dev.gnupg.org (once you’ve got an account via one of the mailinglist. Sorry for that hassle but scripted spam attacks are a problem with open registation.)

We’ll check that and open a report (but it may take a while).

Thanks a lot for reporting the problem!

Sorry for not replying earlier. Thanks for the report from me, too!

We already have somebody on it, who is checking all command line installation directives. We are working on fixing this.

Thanks, i hope for resolution in future versions.
I tried using mailing lists, just mailing the same content to gnuk-users@gnupg.org, but never got any reply, so ended up just writing here.
I understand the complexity of reporting is ruling out most of the spam, but it would be nice to have issues open on github, for tracking and history.

On a side note: gnuk-users@ would have been the wrong mailinglist.
Gnupg-users Info Page would have been better.
(I’ve just checked and could not find a post with gpgol recently.)

We use our own development platform to be independent of the proprietary software that github uses. But yes, we could do a ticket on dev.gnupg.org. However if there is a systematic new test procedure, a single ticket is not catching it completly.

Hope that is okay. Sorry for being a bit slow on this point. :slight_smile:

Hi, just in case there is a misunderstanding. There is a mechanism to control the installation of Gpg4win with an .ini file.
For the MSI package the options from the .ini file are added as command line options for the MSI package.

This is not standard NSIS and implemented by us using g4wihelp.c and the config_ functions have not been ported from ascii to unicode so the popsting and setuservariable don’t work as expeced. I am repeating it here since I don’t know that there is a ticket for it and only mentioned it in a different ticket. Maybe you can add that information somewhere so that the person looking into it does not search for the problem somewhere else.

thanks, there is a ticket now.
