Msysgit for windows - Cheetah plugin not showing?

Question

I recently installed git 1.8 for windows and chose to install the cheetah plugin for windows explorer shell integration. However, I don't see any options pop-up in the right click menu. Is there something I have to do to get it to appear in the right-click menu?

I am using Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit.

Answer 1

In:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\git-cheetah

Do:

regsvr32 git_shell_ext64.dll

This at least gets you 3 context menus (don't know if cheetah plugin cause I never saw it :-)

Is this a bug or what? I thought installer should be doing this (things like registering DLLs).

P.S. of course you have to run this command as Administrator.

P.P.S. Start | Run, type cmd.exe, then RIGHT CLICK cmd.exe and select "run as administrator". Apparently you also have to restart Windows Explorer to see the context menu.
