Hello there,

I have been (and am still) using the combination of KeePass, KeeAgent (client mode) and WinCrypt for storing and serving any ssh keys for a while now.

After getting a new notebook and reinstalling everything however, i am getting an error when KeeAgent is trying to add its keys to WinCrypt.

With Puttys pageant running the same thing works fine.

Also, if i try to add a key (with putty not KeePass) while Wincrypt is running i am getting this error message:
image

I am using the same versions of all the mentioned tools on both machines.

Any ideas on how to approach this any further?

I fixed the issue myself or more like found a workaround: After starting KeePass/KeeAgent with admninistrator privileges everything works again.
