I thought that I clarified that. I have a new Windows 11 laptop, onto which I want to install Vim v9.x, 64-bit.
One thing I expect is to locate a file via Windows Explorer, right click it, and select to edit it with Vim, or to Open it with Vim. Apparently, something is different on Windows 11, whereby these right-click options are not automatically there. I try to register the DLL in Regedit, like this: regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\vim\vim91\GvimExt64\gvimext.dll" I receive the following error, which indicates that this DLL is NOT 64-bit. What am I missing? Please, advise. Thank you. ~ Mike [image: Screenshot 2025-08-05 124602.png] On Wednesday, August 6, 2025 at 2:43:30 AM UTC-5 Christian Brabandt wrote: Hi, I have no idea what that error means. Can you try a more uptodate version? See https://github.com/vim/vim-win32-installer/releases Have you tried the installer version?
