Description Timur 2018-02-28 12:22:37 UTC
I use GPG4win and with version 2.3.4 LO can start it's Kleopatra as Certificate Manager. Default path for installation is "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG" and path for Kleopatra is "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\kleopatra.exe".

When I tried to install GPG4win version 3.0.3 I was offered and accepted path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Gpg4win". LO couldn't start Certificate Manager. There was a message "Could not find any certificate manager" in 6.1+ (while there was no message in 5.3).

It's not clear how LO finds Certificate Manager on different platforms and I wrote that in documentation bug. But if this is not some my local issue, then this should be updated.
Comment 1 Timur 2018-03-02 12:33:41 UTC
Also reported in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114727#c1.
So I'll confirm.

Comment 8 himajin100000 2018-10-01 13:40:04 UTC
Hmmm...

my kleopatra.exe resides at 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Gpg4win\bin\kleopatra.exe

not 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Gpg4win\kleopatra.exe

weird.

Comment 14 Luc Lalonde 2018-11-27 20:09:00 UTC
I've tested and still see a problem.

The default installation directory for Kleopatra (GPG4Win) is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\GPG4win\bin\Kleopatra.exe

So the patch won't work...  The 'bin' subdirectory search PATH is missing.

This PATH is in the patch instead:

C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\bin\Kleopatra.exe

I re-installed GPG4win with this path and everything is working fine.

However, it would be nicer if LibreOffice used the Windows PATH environment instead of hardcoding the possible locations of 'Kleopatra'.

Thank You!

Hello Luc Lalonde,
Could you please paste the info from Help - about LibreOffice ?
Comment 16 Luc Lalonde 2018-11-27 20:52:19 UTC
I had to re-install again Gpg4win in the default directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Gpg4win\bin\Kleopatra.exe)

LibreOffice was not able to find any certicates...

So now I'm back to getting the error 'Cannot find the certificate manager'... but at least I can still sign documents.

Here's my setup:

Windows 10, GPG4Win 3.1.5, LibreOffice 6.1.3.2

Comment 18 Oliver Brinzing 2019-08-11 06:54:03 UTC
this issue is reproducible with "gpg4win-3.1.10.exe" and:
 
Version: 6.3.0.4 (x64)

gpg4win-3.1.10.exe installs to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Gpg4win
C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG

and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Gpg4win\..\GnuPG\bin" is added to PATH

but all *.exe and *.dll files are copied into subfolder "bin", e.g.:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Gpg4win\bin\kleopatra.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpg.exe

"Procmon" shows, LO searches for:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Gpg4win\kleopatra.exe
C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 6.3\program\Gpg4win
C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\kleopatra.exe

Comment 19 Xisco Faulí 2019-08-12 08:49:04 UTC
@Cor, @Thosten, based on comment 16, should we add 'Gpg4win\\bin\\kleopatra.exe' and 'GnuPG\\bin\\gpg.exe' to aGUIServers[] ?
