That worked. I was able to get the nsi script to register the 7-zip.dll as a 64-bit version. I used ${If} ${RunningX64} SetRegView 64 ${EndIf} After doing so with some additional modifications, I was able to use contextual menus. Thanks a lot for your patience and help. Appreciate it.

Ok, and when you say 7-zip.dll must be 64-bit, what do you mean by that? Is there a way of specifying that 7-zip.dll is 64-bit and 7-zip32.dll is 32-bit?
With the installer generated with NSIS using the .nsi script, when I go into its 7-zip options, I see that "Integrate 7-Zip to shell context menu" is checked however "Integrate 7-Zip to shell context menu (64-bit), its greyed out. So basically the context menu is there only if the machine is not 64-bit. Why is this the case? What needs to be added to the .nsi script to also generate a 64-bit contextual menu?
The msi from 7-zip.org works, it installs with the use of contextual menus. That is what I am trying to replicate by generating the installer by running the .nsi script through the NSIS tool. But the problem is that the installers I generate using NSIS dont allow the use of contenxtual menus. What portion in the .nsi script is suppose to allow for contextual menu use?
Only the exe installer provided on source forge generates contextual menu access. Both of the installers generated by NSIS and WiX dont allow access to contextual menus. So is there something missing in the .nsi script that NSIS uses, in order to have the generator allow the use of contextual menus? Is there a reason why it does not have contextual menus?

Do you know how or have an example of what I would need to add to the .nsi script for example, in order to have the NSIS generated installer allow the user to use contextual menus?

Ok, so I either missed something when building with WiX or the newer version changed. Would you know if NSIS generated installers are suppose to allow the use of contextual menus? Also, when using the installer generated from NSIS, the installation window doesnt act the same as the .msi installation window available on sourceforge. The NSIS just asks me to choose the directory for installation while the latter has several steps before installation. Is that difference intended or are they suppose...

When you generate the installer with WiX for example, when running the generated installer, is there a window that allows you to browse for which directory you want to install 7-zip in? And also does it allow for contextual menus?
I used WiX to generate a 7-Zip installer with the provided .wxs file and I also generated a 7-Zip installer with NSIS using the .nsi provided. The former, when running the installer pops up a window that almost immediately closes and installs 7-zip in an unspecified directory. The latter pop's up a window that lets you choose which directory you want to install 7-zip in however that's all, it does not behave exactly as the web version installer. Also neither of them allow for contextual menus (Right...
