#3 Yenc32 doesn't work from right-click contextual menu

[zigoto]

Click with the right button of your mouse on a file, then choose yEncode with yEnc32. You should get a window displaying "Could not execute yEnc32 to encode this file" (cf. attached screenshot). When you click on a file with the right button of your mouse and choose YDecode with yEnc32 a very similar window appears and tells: "Could not execute yEnc32 to decode this file".

Tested with yEnc32 v1.0.8 under Windows XP SP 2. Enough RAM, hard disk space and a fast enough CPU (think so, with an AMD 64 X2 :)
The installation was done using the default settings, all options were checked (yEnc 32 (required), Start menu Shorcuts, Right-Click Shell Integration).

Reproducibility: always.

FYI, I had the opportunity to test this under Windows Millennium and the same problem occurs. Using yEnc32 v1.0.8, it's impossible to yEncode or to yDecode a file via the contextual menu obtained with a click on the right button of the mouse. (The installation was done using the default settings, all options were checked (yEnc 32 (required), Start menu Shortcuts, Right-Click Shell Integration)).

I've had the same problem, and I appear to have the same setup as this poster. I just upgraded to 1.0.8. This update came out in May, but the bug report only came out a week ago in October. I can't believe that the bug has lain dormant all these months. Right-click menus in 1.0.7 still work, though. I've checked the source, where it tries to execute Yenc32; I didn't notice any material change between 1.0.7 and 1.0.8.
