Debugging

If Kleopatra can not be accessed, a message box with an error message will be displayed. To get more information, you can either check the error log of Kleopatra, or specify a debug file: Select the key HKLM\Software\GNU\GnuPG in the registry editor, create a new string value with the name GpgEX Debug File and the value of the debug filename (e.g. c:\temp\gpgex-debug-file.log). To this file logging information is appended, after a restart if necessary.

Reference

More information about these crypto operations can be found in the Kleopatra manual. Please find more information and new software versions at the Gpg4win website.
