Get this: http://upx.sourceforge.net/download/upx304w.zip

libgcrypt-11.dll is packed with version 3.01 -- 3.04 will therefore work fine
but older versions may not.

Extract upx.exe somewhere you can get to it from the command line. You don't
need any of the other stuff just for this.

Do make a copy of your libgcrypt-11.dll, just in case, and make sure the dll
isn't locked, of course (use WhoSLocking.exe by Emmanuel Kartmann, or reboot,
or whatever).

Do...
    upx -d libgcrypt-11.dll

The file will be written in place.  If it works, the message (at the command
line) will be "Unpacked 1 file." -- the size goes from 228,352 to 472,576
bytes.

I tested this and it worked as advertised above, although it's still a mystery
as to why you had a problem (I didn't).

Good luck!
