It works on XP, but not on Vista.

Hi, people.  I Love this program.

Using xplorer2 Lite, version 2.0.0.3 [Ansi] Lite 11/10/2011...
on two different machines...
1. Win XP SP3, Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM and
2. Win Vista SP2, AMD Phenom Triple-Core, 2.1 GHz, 6.0 GB RAM

I want the 7-Zip program to appear as an option in the "right-click" "shell context menu".
It works correctly on the XP machine,
but 7-Zip doesn't appear as an option on the Vista machine.

Is there a way to fix that, without upgrading to [PRO]?

Thanks.

The most likely cause of shell extensions not appearing is a mismatch between the OS bit-type and the software you're using.

Is the Vista machine running x64-Windows by any chance?  If so (which is probable, given you have 6GB of RAM on it), you have probably installed the wrong version of 7-Zip - since x2 Lite is 32-bit only, you must also use the 32-bit version of 7-Zip for it to appear in the context menu, not the x64 version.

7-Zip does supply separate installers for both versions, so simply find the 32-bit one and install that instead.

In the unlikely event that your problem is not a bit-type conflict, I'm afraid it's some trouble local to your machine, as otherwise the two programmes are quite compatible over any OS.
