I agree with Rob.

Werner has described GPG2 on win32 as 'still alpha'. Agent works, OpenPGP card
doesn't.

The wrapper scripts in GPG4WIN cause all sorts of trouble with Enigmail. Sure,
you can fix the path setting the installer adds, but why go to the hassle when
the regular gnupg.org installer works just fine.
