Hi,

my gpg.exe is at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe'.
After a firefox restart enigmail reports an error that the gpg.exe cannot be found and the path in the enigmail settings is changed to 'C:\Program Files(x86)\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe' (the blank between 'Files' and '(X86)' is lost)
Enigmail Version 1.5 (20121227-0013)
firefox esr 10.0.12
win7 x64
system language : German
Has anybody ever seen the same and / or a idea how to fix it ?

regards

There has been a change in the logic detecting the gpg executable since the release of Enigmail 1.5. Please try a nightly build and report back if it solves the problem or not.

Ok. I just noticed that you're talking of firefox. Do you mean Thunderbird or Firefox where you have installed Enigmail? And is this really version 10.0.12esr?.

Hi,

The problem is still there every morning.
Are there any other ideas ?
Does anybody need any kind of logfile ?
Does anybody know, where enigmail stores the place where to find the gpg.exe ?

thanks in advance.

Do you have any relevant entries in user.js? Do you have a portable version of Thunderbird?
