Here are my initial results:
I took the pproctx.clfile and setup the environment to compile a 32-bit dll.
Ran "cl @pproctx.clfile" and it produced the file as expected, however, I got
the following warnings:
C:\PProCtx>cl @pproctx.clfile
Ctxmenu.cpp
Shellext.cpp
Shexinit.cpp

Creating library pproctx.lib and object pproctx.exp
However, when powerpro.exe is started with context menu support it works on the
32-bit platform.
I then reset the environment to compile a 64-bit dll. I run the same compiler
command and it fails with the following errors:
C:\PProCtx>cl @pproctx.clfile

Doing some research on the internet turns up

which seems to be my problem. I then modify my C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.1\include\shobjidl.h file and recompile. Now it compiles with
the following output:
C:\PProCtx>cl @pproctx.clfile

Creating library pproctx.lib and object pproctx.exp
The pproctx.dll file is created and I transfer it to my 64-bit machine and
restart powerpro. Unfortunately it does not seem to work.
On the 32-bit machine I run the listdlls.exe command and see that pproctx.dll
is loaded by explorer.exe. I also see it creates the ctx_debug.txt file. On the
64-bit platform though pproctx.dll is not even loaded.
Any ideas on where to go from here? Any chance the warnings in the 64-bit
compile would prevent it from even loading?
