Re: PPProctx.dll Old version required Context Menu 32 bit not working

OK, I uploaded directly to files area PProctx 1004b V14 compiler.dll

 

 Download it to your ppro exe folder but do not rename yet.  Do however take a backup of existing pproctx in that folder.
 

 It's tricky to install the pproctx.dll l as you need to unload the existing pproctx from memory and shutting down ppro is not enough because the dll is actually loaded by explorer.
 

 I am assuming you have 1001 installed and sort of working, so I recommend leaving the context menu support installed and just swapping the pproctx files.
 

 Here is what I suggest (to repeat, do NOT uninstall ctx menu support assuming it is installed now):
 

 1.   Shut down powerpro and any other program with open window.
 

 2.  Restart explorer as by ctrl-shift-right click on taskbar and selecting exit explorer from resulting menu at bottom.  Windows will automatically restart explorer, but if for some reason it does not, ctrl-alt- del and start task manager, file menu, select run a new task, enter explorer.exe as task to run.  (You may want to try this first before exiting explorer to make sure you understand what I mean)
 

 3.  Rename existing pproctx.dll to eg pproctx 1001.dllbak.  Then rename the downloaded file to pproctx.dll.
 

 4.  Restart powerpro.
 

 Let me know what happens.  I do have another compiler which I can try if the new one sort of works, although there would be no point if it does not work at all.
 

 

 Note:  If you are uncomfortable with restarting explorer as per step 2, then instead remove ppro from startup and restart Windows.  I just tried it on my machine and I did have to use task manager method to restart explorer  See here
