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?
