Missing 64bit shell extension menus and overlay icons

Post by andre_j »

Hello,

I have some problems with the new version 2.52 beta 1. I'm running Vista Home Premium 64 bit version and I cant get the shell integrated menus from some programs to show in salamander anymore. For example, neither tortoisesvn, 7-zip or winmerge menu items are visible in salamander even if they are in explorer. But some programs like avast will show up correctly in both places.

I've tried to reinstall both salamander and tortoise (1.6) but it didn't help. I also noticed that salamander does not register any overlay handlers in the settings dialog.

Is something wrong or am I missing something?

Missing 64bit shell extension menus and overlay icons

Hi,
Altap Salamander is a 32bit process and cannot use 64bit version of Tortoise SVN. Please install 32bit version of TortoiseSVN and it will work in most 32bit applications and in Altap Salamander.

Installing 64bit AND 32bit version of Tortoise SVN at the same time is supported solution and works without any problems.

Yes, its in the roadmap... but don't expect it to be soon. There is too much work to be done.
