Missing 64bit 7zip context menu

Post by biggus »

After installing 7z 64-bit, registering supported file extensions and context menus for explorer, Salamander 2.52 b1 fails to show the 7z context sub menu on zip (and any other) files. This happens on Vista 32 SP1, Vista 64 SP1 and Win 7 64.

Here's a picture of Explorer showing the 7z submenu between Open and Open with:

The same context menu in Salamander, missing the 7z submenu:

Thanks for the best file manager on Win platform :)

Sory this has been here before... I little search would not hurt.
Salamander is a 32 bit application thus works only with 32 bit shell extensions.
If you install the 32 bit version of 7zip, the context menu will be displayed.

For example see the "tortois problem"
