WinZip still does'nt support x64 context options

Just noticed the release of WinZip 10, and it still does'nt have working
context menus...

Andre:
It's just a beta.
If you are looking for a 64bit compression program, maybe squeez
http://www.speedproject.de/enu/squeez/index.html
is what you should download.
This is the link for the trial:

Andre:
Winzip 10 is in beta stage.
We will have to stick with WinRAR for a while.
However...
If you are looking for a true 64bit compression program, this is your choice:
http://www.sp-download.de/sq5/sq5x64.exe
Squeez v5, trial download
More details here:

I'll stick with WinZip, thanks for the suggestion though Carlos.

This is because the 64 bit shell (explorer.exe) cannot load the 32 bit shell
extensions of the program. It will work when WinZip ships a 64 bit version
of its shell extension. All apps that depend on a shell extension have the
same kind of pb.

But you should get the context menu in the File Open dialog of 32 bit
applications (not the most practical but it should work there).

Ah well. I have been bugging them to ask for 64-bit support, but it seems
they don't want to. Well, they can royally get st*ffed ;-) Especially since
Windows supports the ZIP-format already. All my money on WinRAR now

You can also get all the context menus if you start a 32bit copy of
explorer.

Make yourself a shortcut pointing at:-

%windir%\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate

All the WinZip context menus will appear in that version

anything missing context menus - eg quickpar,quicksfx and others
i just fire up 32bit internet explorer and c:\ in the address bar - acts
like a 32 bit shell then
minor inconvenience i can live with

 

Actually I meant WinRAR.

For a fiel once in a while it's ok, but if you're reshuffling a lot of
them, it becomes a pain in the [censored].

I tried running the 32 bit explorer but did not know about the /separate
option. So, I was always getting the 64 bit explorer.

As I was craving for TortoiseCVS on my 64 bit box, I ended up getting the
source code from SourceForge and recompiling it in 64 bit mode, but I could
have been up and running faster if I had known about this option.

Thanks for the info.

Bruno

 

That's a very useful tip Peter! Thanks.

Any idea how to get it to come up in two pane view (folders on the left)? Is
there an extra command line switch that can be used?
