Mailing List Archive: GPG in Windows 2000/NT

I have working in Windows 2000 Profesional with
permisions of write only in temp directory.
My problem is that to execute gpg, the program say:
"gpg:fatal: c:/gnupg: can't create directory:
Permission denied".
I have the keyrings in a diskette in a:, indicated in
the options file.

The problem is that I don't have permisions in other
directory that temp.
How I can indicated to gpg that it find in temp
directory?

Thanks,
Salvador Vicente.

Hmmm, and where is the options file? Assuming it is in c:/temp you
can either use "gpg --homedir c:/temp" or set the homedir in the
Registry (see README.W32 on how to do it).

However, I wonder why you can access the floppy but you are not
allowed to have a private directory other than temp - It seems that
you do not have full control over this machine and therefore it may
be not a so good idea to use GnuPG (with secret keys) on that box.

Ciao,

Werner
