I resolved the problem by changing "Start In" path in kleopatra shortcut properties to "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\". Regards, Janis

I can't reproduce this problem. On windows 8.1 x64 pro. Default install of gpg4win-2.2.5 -> launching kleopatra from the "Tasks" pane works perfectly fine. What did the shortcut have as a "Start in" value before you modified it? For me it's %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
I have the same error message when I double-click on a file with type ".gnu". Kleo does not open. I can click the Kleopatra application to open it first and then open the ".gnu" file from the "file" menu. I changed the application's "Start In" as suggested above, but got the same error. I am using Gpg4win verion 2.2.6 and Kleopatra version 2.2.0-git49bbf03 (2015-08-20). I had the same problem with Gpg4win version 2.2.5.
Are you sure you are running the right kleopatra binary. For some historic reasons there is a wrapper installed in the installation location that should be run. Running the kleopatra.exe from the bin subfolder will produce the error you mentioned.: %PROGRAMFILES%/GNU/GnuPG/kleopatra.exe (small and without icon) < This is the one you should run. %PROGRAMFILES%/GNU/GnuPG/bin/kleopatra.exe (large and with icon) < Will produce error.
For Gpg4win-3.0 we have fixed that whole class of loading problems by not using a wrapper anymore and no special loading code. You can find a testversion of the upcoming 3.0 version under: https://wiki.gnupg.org/Gpg4win/Testversions
