Description Robertson 2015-09-26 12:56:48 UTC 
I've used Kleopatra without problems on my Win 8.1 64 bit computer, after some time I couldn't launch Kleopatra anymore. There is no way out, I've tried all possible thinks, deinstallation, delet of files after installation, reboot, etc. nothing resolves the problem.
 
Thanks in advance for helping in my question.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on the Kleopatra icon
2. Kleopatra doesn't respond and won't launch 
3. The key manager still remain unopend, even after several times of trying deinstall and reinstall the Kleopatra key manager

Actual Results:  
are mentioned above


I'm using Win 8.1 64 bit operating system

Thanks for your report, we had several of "Kleo won't start" reports and the startup was indeed fragile.
For Gpg4win-3.0 we have fixed that whole class of loading problems by not using a wrapper anymore and no special dll loading code. We've also removed the dependency to additional startup helpers like dbus and kbuildsycoa so the startup of kleopatra should be now much more stable.

You can find a testversion of the upcoming 3.0 version under: https://wiki.gnupg.org/Gpg4win/Testversions
