Why do you even bother putting out a piece of software with this kind of error? 
And then when someone reports the problem 5 months later no response to the 
bug. Do you realize you are just wasting people's time by publishing garbage, 
then not supporting it? I just spent 30-ish minutes installing and using 
cryptophane, and I have this exact same issue. How can I trust *anything* 
related to this software? Should I hand out my public key with the "error 
loading" message?

Do everyone a favor -- either fix these issues, or take down your software so 
you don't waste other people's time.

A short googling brings up the page on GnuPG site describing this issue: 
http://www.gnupg.org/download/iconv.en.html
So, you just need to copy iconv.dll 
(ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/libiconv-1.9.1.dll.zip) to GnuPG folder 
(%PROGRAMFILES%\Cryptophane\GnuPG on 32-bit Windows, 
%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Cryptophane\GnuPG on 64-bit Windows). So calm down, please. 
Five months is surely enough to figure out such a simple issue by yourself.

It would be nice if the installer could install this file.
