    Question Contextual Menu in Windows X64 bit

    Dear All,

    We've created an apps for windows with a contextual menu in Windows Explorer.
    It's running well in x86.

    But, there's no contextual menu (it's dissappear) in windows x64.

    And there's a registry record that is not created in x64.

    Is there any clue for this problem?

    Thanks so much..

    Perhaps, it is created not in the place you had expected... but somewhere under wow6432node hive...
    Have a look at 32-bit and 64-bit Application Data in the Registry

    Is this a shell extensions?
    If your windows is 64 bit, I think your shell extensions need to be 64 bit as well.
