XYplorer Beta Club

I am evaluating XYplorer and so far think it's great except for one issue. I am running 64 bit Windows 8.1 and just installed 7Zip, 64 bit. It gets properly added to the context menu of Windows File Explorer but not to XYplorer. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks

Can you check if your 7zip installation folder contains a file named 7-zip32.dll ?

.

I have 9.20, downloaded yesterday. I just checked their site again and that is the current version.

As a follow-up question, does this mean that Xyplorer has some issues on 64 bit systems?

No, this is a Windows incompatibility of apps with different bitness. Thank MS for it. Here is some background:

Simply tick this to always show the 64-bit menu:
Configuration | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Show the 64-bit context menu

7-zips website: http://www.7-zip.org/ at the top, look to the right, there's a list of beta versions. Or,
7-zips SourceForge repo: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/files/7-Zip/

Thanks to all. I don't usually use betas, but selecting the Show the 64-bit context menu option seems to have resolved the problem.

I have been testing Xyplorer and am loving it so far. The only thing that has been annoying me is that my 7-Zip context menu item was not appearing. I know I could get to it show using the "Show 64-bit Context Menu" setting, but that was only partially satisfying since if I am working with a lot of archives files, it's too many extra clicks (extra clicks are bad, mkay?). I then tried switching to only showing the 64-bit menu, but then I was missing out on some of the XYplorer menu items (Rename Special is awesome). Sigh.

In principle, I don't like the idea of having to replace 64-bit programs with 32-bit versions when there are 64-bit versions available. After much frustration, I finally was able to get the 7-Zip item to show in the regular context menu by downloading the 7-Zip 9.22 64-bit beta version (thanks to this thread). I am happier now, but I am still missing a couple other menu items; however, they aren't as important as 7-Zip.

I agree that a 64-bit version would be nice, but after reading some threads here, I better understand why that's difficult (VB6 and all that).

Anyhow, thanks for a great program!
