Making TUGZip Shell Extensions Work In Vista x86_64

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

For those of you that don’t know what TUGZip is, it’s a free archiving utility (think WinZip) developed by Christian Kindahl which is also the developer of my favorite burning software InfraRecorder. And honestly, the only reason why I found out about TUGZip is because of it’s link in the InfraRecorder website. If it wasn’t there I would have never, ever…found out about TUGZip. I’d be stuck using 7-Zip forever, never knowing that a aesthetically pleasing application like TUGZip existed. I mean 7-Zip works fine for me, it’s just that it doesn’t really look 2.0′ish to me if you get my drift. Now, people that use TUGZip in a x86_64 system specifically Vista know that TUGZip’s 32-bit shell extensions do not work in x86_64 versions of Vista, meaning that when you right-click in Windows Explorer, nothing shows up.  Now that can be quite annoying if you want to archive something when you’re in Windows Explorer, that means you have to open TUGZip and then do it from there.
