Deployment tip

For silent deployment of Gpg4win, download the EXE installer from https://files.gpg4win.org/ and run gpg4win-x.y.z.exe /S /D=C:Program FilesGpg4win in an elevated command prompt, where /S suppresses UI dialogs and /D= (last parameter) sets a custom installation directory. For advanced customization like pre-installing configuration files or disabling components, create a gpg4win.ini file with a [gpg4win] section specifying absolute paths (e.g., inst_kleopatra=false), then use gpg4win-x.y.z.exe /S /C=C:TEMPgpg4win.ini /D=.
