OpenPGP won't work on Windows

Nitrokeys Misc
1

Hi,
I just wanted to use my Nitrokey, but unfortunately I was unable to do so on my Windows 8.1 machine.
After installing GPG4Win I was unable to connect to the smart card, even though it has been detected by the PC.

Here’s the log (in German):
C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin>gpg.exe --card-status
gpg: Fehler beim Holen der Version von ‘scdaemon’: Nicht unterstützt
gpg: OpenPGP Karte ist nicht vorhanden: Nicht unterstützt

Translation:
C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin>gpg.exe --card-status
gpg: Error during getting version of ‘scdaemon’: not supported
gpg: OpenPGP card is not available: not supported

Do you know why that’s the case? I just assume there is some kind of failure with my scdaemon installation.

Have a nice day,
Fabian

Hi,

what Nitrokey (Start, Pro, Storage) and what version of gpg (gpg --version) are we talking about? Do you use Nitrokey App at the same time? What version of Nitrokey App are you using (if Nitrokey Pro or Storage is used)?

Kind regards
Alex
