Is version 4.4.1 the last version running on Windows 7?
5.0.0 and 5.0.1 install, but pinentry.exe throws an error (missing export) and won’t run.
## pinentry.exe - Entry Point Not Found
## The procedure entry point GetCurrentPackageFullName could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.
Hi @rpfurlong,
we haven’t developed with Windows 7 in mind for quite some time…
But as the error you report is similar to the one seen on Windows Server 2016, it is possible version 5.0.2. will fix your issue, too. See here for the thread on this.
Please try the next version when it comes out (hopefully next week).
Will do when it is out, thanks.
What made me ask in the first place is that the System Requirements page on your site still says “Windows 7 or higher, both 32bit and 64bit”. How I interpret the 5.0 news article, is that 5.0 is now native 64bit and thus the 4.4.1 build would be the latest 32bit compatible (should be mentioned as archived build).
Same is true when the legacy OS cutoff point will be reached. The page should be updated, then. Could prevent quite a few unecessary downloads if stated clearly.
Hi @rpfurlong,
of course the Gpg4win - System Requirements shall be updated.
thus the 4.4.1 build would be the latest 32bit compatible
Can you point me to the news article, where you have read this?
(At least I did not find it quickly on Gpg4win - Whats new - Version 5')
Thanks,
Bernhard
on Gpg4win - Change History in the section “Incompatible Changes” for Version 5.0.0: “The Windows version will now be build for 64-Bit Windows and with the corresponding changes to the installation directory and Registry keys.”
And the requirements page is updated now, Windows 7 is no longer listed as supported. Would be interesting, though, if it still works anyway. So please report @rpfurlong
