I need help verifying Tails iso


I guess I have a mental block here as I can't for the life of me figure out how to verify a tails iso using the sig file in Windows 7. I was told to use Kleopatra but the documentation is apparently above my head. Can someone maybe explain how to use Kleopatra to verify in terms my 5 year old mind can understand?

GUI Version get: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gn...1_20141216.exe
get from here. ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gn...cli-1.4.18.exe
Then run gpg from command prompt. Also tails website gives SHA256 sum for each iso file. why not check with that.

Thanks but same thing. I used the link(s) you provided and downloaded the application. This is what the Readme file says: "This is a binary package with GnuPG for MS-Windows NT-4, W2000, XP and Vista. A native version for 64 bit is not available." Tails suggests that iso be verified with signature file. I did the SHA256 and it checked but I apparently have a corrupted download. I downloaded another copy last night and I'll try it today when I get some spare time.

Try running with "compatibility mode"?
Edit: sorry, I mean shift plus right-click then I think you get an option.
