Oh, true. The remove will be universal, but the Add patch does need manual editing if to include install path information. Sorry for missing that point when distributing the file. It's not an elegant workaround, which is why we don't have a public posting; it's something that can require a bit of support or back and forth, which is why we have customers contact us about the issue.

Hello,
A regular install would work out of the box, and the checkbox in the Options dialog let's you toggle the extension on and off, and it works. These .reg patches are only needed when something in the registry breaks, and for some extreme reason, the setup.exe's uninstall and install isn't able to clean up the registry (which, it can in normal instances).
The Uninstall/Install is attempting to do these steps, but for some reason it fails for a subset of users that then only works by manually patching their registry with a .reg.Aaron P Scooter SoftwareComment

I've found the reason of this problem. Checking with RegDllView.exe, you'll find the the register shellext is BCShellEx.dll, not BCShellEx64.dll. After modifying the registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{57FA2D12-D22D-490A-805A-5CB48E84F12A}\InProcServer32 to BCShellEx64.dll, everything is ok.Comment

I have the same problem - cannot see the BC item(s) in the context menu.
My computer is a new machine running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.
My HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{57FA2D12-D22D-490A-805A-5CB48E84F12A}\InProcServer32 is BCShellEx64.dll.
I am using BC 64bit 4.2.4 Pro Edition.
Thank you in advance!Comment
