Installation should be pretty easy:
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Get and install the latest GnuPG binary for windows
|
|
|
|
|
(ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-1.0.6.zip)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Check that you have an untampered version of this package by
|
|
|
|
|
comparing an MD5SUM against the one on the webpage or by checking
|
|
|
|
|
the signature of the package using "gpg --verify". See the
|
|
|
|
|
webpacge for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Because you are reading this file, you probably have already
|
|
|
|
|
unpacked it distribution using a unzip utility :-). You should
|
|
|
|
|
find these files:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
README - This file
|
|
|
|
|
gpgcom.exe - The Gpgcom server
|
|
|
|
|
vbtest.html - A Test webpage
|
|
|
|
|
vbtest.vbs - A VB script to be used with the cscript utility
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* If you are updating Gpgcom, run the old Gpgcom like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
c:\gnupg\gpgcom -UnregServer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(Replace c:\gnupg with the actually used path)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Copy the file gpgcom.exe to a some location. C:\gnupg seems to be
|
|
|
|
|
a good choice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Register the component using this command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
c:\gnupg\gpgcom -RegServer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Ready
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testing the installation:
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Make sure that you have a working GnuPG (gpg.exe) and that at least
|
|
|
|
|
one key is installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Edit the vbtest.vbs script and replace "alice" in the line
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gpg.AddRecipient "alice"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with a keyID or user name you have in your key ring.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Run the test script:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cscript vbtest.vbs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and you should see a valid MIME message with the encrypted text.

Using Gpgcom
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gpgcom currently support only encryption but will be extended to the
|
|
|
|
|
full range of operations GnuPG provides. The 2 examples should goive
|
|
|
|
|
yopu a hint on how to use it. We suggest that you always set armor to
|
2001-08-28 11:11:10 +00:00
|
|
|
true, so that the returned text is a string. If you don't use armor,
|
2001-07-31 15:21:58 +00:00
|
|
|
the "ciphertext" property will return an array with the binary
|
|
|
|
|
message.
