    Hello,

    I just installed Thunderbird and Enigmail to encrypt and sign my messages.
    The encrypting goes perfectly fine, but signing is a problem. Whenever I try to send a signed message I get the following error:

    "pinentry.exe - System Error"

    followed by these two

    "The code execution cannot proceed because libassuan-0.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

    "The code execution cannot proceed because libgpg-error-0.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

    However, both files actually are in "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin".
    When I copy the files to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Gpg4win\bin", the errors disappear, but the receiver gets an error and is unable to read the message.

    Anyone knows how to fix this?

    You're not the 1st to report this issue. It looks like a bug with the latest gpg4win release. I recommend you install an older version of gpg4win.

    And please report the error to gpg4win.org - we can't do anything about it, except for seeing it happen.

      Uninstalling the current version of gpg4win (3.1.5) and installing the previous version (3.1.4) worked. Thanks for your help and I will report to gpgwin!
