  • 1.  Self decrypting archive - does not work?

    Posted May 07, 2014 06:08 PM

    I am using the trial version.

    I was able to successfully create a self-decrypting archive file using PGP command line, but when I try to "run" the resulting file, I have 2 issues:

    1) It seems to only run on 32-bit versions of Windows

    2) When running it on 32-bit Windows, it just opens a command prompt window with a cursor moving around randomly all over the window. It does not accept any input as far as I can tell. I would expect it to ask for the passphrase, then decrypt the file afterward. Am I missing something?

    Hello

    The OS platforms for which the files can be encrypted are:

    • win32 (Windows)
    • linux (Linux)
    • solaris (Solaris)
    • aix (AIX)
    • hpux (HP-UX)
    • osx (Mac OS X)

    Use the below command and specify the OS

    pgp --encrypt filename -symmetric-passphrase "B0b*sm1t4" --sda --target-platform win32

    This command produced the encrypted file "filename.txt.pgp" prepared for the Win32
