Topic: Error: FireGPG is unable to access the gpg executable.

I'm using Windows XP, Firefox 3.6.3, GPG 1.4.10 and FireGPG 0.7.10.

This problem occurs whenever I try to start FireGPG:
"Error: FireGPG is unable to access the gpg executable. Make sure GPG is installed or specify the path in the preferences."

GPG is installed in C:\Program\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe and that's what I've specified in the settings in FireGPG.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Re: Error: FireGPG is unable to access the gpg executable.

I'm having the same issue. Is gpg 2 not supported? Windows 7 32 bit, FF 3.6.6, gpg 2.0.14 installed with gpg4win 2.0.2, FireGPG 0.7.10 . FireFTP is not and never has been installed. Here is some detailed info:

Re: Error: FireGPG is unable to access the gpg executable.

Ok... I see the problem now. I was specifying the wrong executable. It was GNU\GnuPG\Pub\gpg.exe not GNU\GnuPG\gpg2.exe as I entered. Maybe this post will help someone else out.
