    I am geeting the following output when I try to decrypt a file from our client

    C:\Users\client>pgp --decrypt "F:\test.pgp.pgp" --recipient "clientA" --passphrase "passclientA"
    F:\test.pgp.pgp:decrypt (3177:message signed by key ID 0x6E228123)
    F:\test.pgp.pgp:decrypt (3038:signing key 0x6E228123 Client A (IT) <it@clientA.com>)
    F:\test.pgp.pgp:decrypt (3079:signing key invalid)
    F:\test.pgp.pgp:decrypt (3040:signature created 2016-01-14T19:55:45+02:00)
    F:\test.pgp.pgp:decrypt (3170:signature hash SHA-1)
    F:\test.pgp.pgp:decrypt (3035:good signature)
    F:\test.pgp.pgp:decrypt (3083:could not create output file test.gpg)

    What could be the reason for the above error?

    Maybe error can be recipient name. Please try using key's ID or email address.

    A couple things:
    Why is it a test.pgp.pgp file, and not just test.pgp?  Was the file encrypted in one command, then signed using another command?  What command is being used to encrypt and sign the file?
    There is no reason to designate a recipient in a decryption process.  It will find the matching key and try to apply the passphrase supplied in the command.

    it is a two step procedure pgp --encrypt "C:\Files\test.xsl" --recipient "company" pgp --sign "C:\Files\test.xsl" --recipient “client” --passphrase "clientpass"
