SUBJECT: Runtime 11 and context menus in Paradox 10-11

After having installed Paradox 11 Runtime on the same machine as Paradox 11 is installed, the context menus in Explorer and Paradox 11 were replaced / modified by those from Paradox Runtime. I don't recall the exact circumstances now.

When right clicking a form in Paradox 11 ProjectViewer, pdxse.dll from Paradox Runtime is referenced.

Extract from a FILEMON.EXE report

21:49:24 pdxwin32.exe:1384 IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\Program\ParadoxRuntime\Programs\PdxSe.dll SUCCESS

Note: pdxwin32.exe is making a call to Paradox Runtime folder

To get the context menus back in Paradox 11, and Paradox 10, I had to copy the pdxse.dll from Paradox 11 to Paradox 11 Runtime \Programs folder.

I searched registry for references to pdxse.dll in Runtime\Programs folder, and I found only two references:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\User Data\S-1-5-18\Components\95B89661041BA5147A3DBCCDCA80CCD9]
"10D8562C29CDBA34DAB64058B2983F6A"="C:\\Program\\ParadoxRuntime\\Programs\\PdxSe.dll"

The other one is in:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs]

Under this key, there are also references to Paradox 10 and Paradox 11 versions of pdxse.dll.

This same problem has been reported by Delfo Perozziello

Corel is aware of the problem.
