are you trying to register an activex dll or just add something to the registry?

If activex, trying shelling to regsrvr; if update the registry; do a search for my registry64.lua file...

Nevermind, I wrote my own 64-bit exe that registers 64-bit shell extensions. I simply execute .exe file from the installer.

Shell extension that adds right-click menu to Windows Explorer.

Need to have 64-bit register function to register 64-bit shell extension in x64 versions of Windows. You do not have that in Setup Factory. Because your 32-bit installer cannot load 64-bit DLLs for COM registration.

I simply wrote a x64 version of regsvr32 and included it with the installer.
