FileConverterExtension.DLL incorrectly recorded in the registry
Extension for Contextual Menu considered to have the file missing While I was customizing the context menus, via the ShellExView application (shexview-x64) and I noticed that although nothing seemed to create a bug for me. The integration of "FileConverterExtension.DLL" is not done correctly and causes the system to interpret the extension as having the file missing!
I don't know how this is declared in the code so I can only report it and let the developers or others make the necessary fixes.
Because the path is interpreted like this:
C:\Windows\System32\C:/Program Files/File Converter/FileConverterExtension.DLL
Instead of:
C:\Program Files\File Converter\FileConverterExtension.DLL

Reg keys Here are the two keys affected by the bad formatting:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{AF9B72B5-F4E4-44B0-A3D9-B55B748EFE90}\InprocServer32]
"CodeBase"="file:///C:/Program Files/File Converter/FileConverterExtension.DLL"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{AF9B72B5-F4E4-44B0-A3D9-B55B748EFE90}\InprocServer32\1.2.0.0]
"CodeBase"="file:///C:/Program Files/File Converter/FileConverterExtension.DLL"
And here are the corrected keys:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{AF9B72B5-F4E4-44B0-A3D9-B55B748EFE90}\InprocServer32]
"CodeBase"="C:\\Program Files\\File Converter\\FileConverterExtension.DLL"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{AF9B72B5-F4E4-44B0-A3D9-B55B748EFE90}\InprocServer32\1.2.0.0]
"CodeBase"="C:\\Program Files\\File Converter\\FileConverterExtension.DLL"

NB I am aware that this is not a bug report from the application itself but I did not know how to report the problem, I find this application so exceptional that when I was confronted with these messages from extension missing and I understood why, I absolutely wanted to make it known, even if perhaps this is totally minor and of no consequence.
Thanks a lot for your exhaustive bug report! I'll try to find some time to look at it.
