Stock install GPG doesn't recognise yubikey

[clumbo]

I am doing the following in the command line after installing via scoop

gpg --card-status

This results in the following

gpg: can't connect to the gpg-agent: IPC connect call failed
gpg: OpenPGP card not available: No agent running

I am sorry, this is not a GnuPG support forum and not a proper place to ask about basic GnuPG operations. Documentation clearly states that:

You need to go to https://gnupg.org/documentation/index.html where proper support channels are listed.

I setup the smartcard it was working.

The trick is not to use the bundled portable version when installing scoop.

With the portable version > 2.3.1 it will not work due to a bug that references a missing gnupg folder> 2.3.1 if you create the gnupg folder next to home you can get the agent to connect via command line but it will not work with win-gpg-agent.

Posting this in case someone else has the problem in the future

Assuming by bundled you mead scoop install of gnupg (as oposite to any other gnupg installation) I believe you could still use win-gpg-agent with work around suggested in the scoop ticket by changing agent-gui configuration as it has separate config value to point to a socket directory. I also of opinion that change in 2.3.2 is strange and unnecessary, but do not think it is going to be reverted.

Thanks for the reply,

Yes I did try this and it still didn't work
