I'm using Vista Ultimate 64 bit and Notepad++ 4.7.1. Unfortunately, although I marked the entry during installation, I do not have the context menu entry to open a text file (or whatever) with notepad++. Is this due to the distinction of 32bit and 64bit programs (and therefore the program folder) under Vista 64 bit? Is there a workaround?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
From what I've read because Vista is x64, it requires that the Explorer extensions also be in x64. Since NPP is 32bit, it will only show up in 32bit programs who try to load the context menu.
As I understand it, this is an issue that can really only be addressed by creating/updating the NPP extension to 64bit.
