Hi all,
Thought I'd share this:
I have had problems on and off with eg archivers not working correctly with
Windows Explorer, specifically the Explorer-extensions. Most notably WinRAR
and Winzip have these problems, despite the respective companies state that
they support WinXP x64.
Anyway, I downloaded and installed the latest versions of WinRAR (v3.70) and
Winzip (v11.1 build 7466) and then started Windows Explorer x64.
Right-clicking a txt-file did not show any winzip or winrar context
menus(...).
Downloaded and installed 7-Zip v4.47 x64-beta. Started Windows Explorer x64
again and right-clicked a file. And there they were; context menus for 7-Zip,
Winzip and WinRAR.
No idea why they showed up after installing 7-Zip and not before...
Windows Explorer x86 does not show any archive-related context menus...
In any case, during my search I came across a nice x64-focused software site:
<<<http://www.start64.com/index.php>>> that contains all x64-related stuff,
articles, software etc.
[soapbox mode on]
Hope this helps somebody. Personally I'm really fed up with this
"x64-non-supported-software-we-might-support-this-in-our-next-release-replies"
I keep getting from eg Winzip et al... WinXP x64 has been out since 2005 for
god's sake!!
