How to (de-)install GnuPG CVS
=============================



Part One, or Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Make a say folder "gnupg" on c:\, so it looks like this...

c:\gnupg

...and then place all the GnuPG CVS files in it (some CVS versions, 
of mine, you can get here <https://tronogi.tripod.com/gpgcvsdl.html>). 

Then copy this into Notepad...

    REGEDIT4

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\GnuPG]
    "agentReadFD"="0"
    "agentWriteFD"="0"
    "agentPID"="0"
    "agentCID"="0"
    "OptFile"="c:\\gnupg\\gpg.conf"
    "HomeDir"="c:\\gnupg"
    "gpgProgram"="c:\\gnupg\\gpg.exe"

...and save it anywhere you wish, under a name "gpg-in.reg", then run 
this file and say [YES] to all the offers.

This act is called "adding GnuPG to Registry".

After that, if you are using...

            XP.. : Push the "Windows" key, hold it and flip the
                   Pause/Brake key. Go to Advanced | Environment 
                   Variables and in "System Variables, select "Path".
                   Hit the [Edit] button and in "Variable value" 
                   add at the end of the line this...
                   
                   ;c:\gnupg
                   
                   ...and then beat the [OK] button until it 
                   disappears from the scene.

        Win98/95 : Drag and drop the file...
                   
                   c:\Autoexec.bat
                   
                   ...into Notepad, and then find the line beginning
                   with...
                   
                   PATH=
                   
                   ...and at its end add this...
                   
                   ;c:\gnupg
                   
                   ...save the file, and restart machine.
                   
                           ____."_)~~_____________
                           If there is no the line beginning with...
                           
                           PATH=
                           
                           ...then we add it ourselves, so it looks 
                           like this...
                           
                           PATH=c:\gnupg
                           
                           ...and then we save the file, and restart 
                           machine.

This act is called "adding GnuPG to the $PATH", and the whole 
procedure explained and happily finished right now is called
"installation".

To check if you have everything done well, into the DOS window
(Start | Run | cmd) you type in this...

gpg --version

...and something like this should appear...

...which means that you have everything done well.



Part Two, or De-installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Delete the folder c:\gnupg with all the files inside (although you 
could place aside the `gpg.conf' file, if you have something very
special in it, so you love it very much).

Copy this into Notepad...

    REGEDIT4

    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\GnuPG]
    "agentReadFD"="0"
    "agentWriteFD"="0"
    "agentPID"="0"
    "agentCID"="0"
    "OptFile"="c:\\gnupg\\gpg.conf"
    "HomeDir"="c:\\gnupg"
    "gpgProgram"="c:\\gnupg\\gpg.exe"

...and save it anywhere you wish, under a name "gpg-out.reg", then run
this file and say [YES] to all the offers.

This act is called "removing GnuPG from Registry".

After that, if you are using...

            XP.. : Push the "Windows" key, hold it and flip the
                   Pause/Brake key. Go to Advanced | Environment 
                   Variables and in "System Variables, select "Path".
                   Hit the [Edit] button and in "Variable value" 
                   find the part...
                   
                   ;c:\gnupg
                   
                   ...remove it, and then beat the [OK] button until 
                   it disappears from the scene.

        Win98/95 : Drag and drop the file...
                   
                   c:\Autoexec.bat
                   
                   ...into Notepad, and then in the line beginning 
                   with...                                   
                   
                   PATH=
                   
                   ...find the part you have had added, be that a...
                   
                   ;c:\gnupg
                   
                   ...or...
                   
                   c:\gnupg
                   
                   ...remove it, save the file, and restart the 
                   machine.
                   
This act is called "removing GnuPG from the $PATH", and the whole 
procedure explained and happily finished right now is called
"de-installation".
