Hi Alan,

I recall seeing this problem before. Your problem is *not* the gpg executable.

Enigmail gets its environment variable information from Thunderbird, which gets
it from the process starting Thunderbird. That process most likely doesn't have
the variable GNUPGHOME set to override GnuPG's default location under
C:\Documents and Settings\...

Try starting Thunderbird from the command line after running go,bat to set the
GnuPG Home dir variable GNUPGHOME
