Windows 7 Credential Provider Sample

I'm trying to create a custom login for Windows 7 using Credential Provider. I use Windows 7 Professional, Windows SDK 7.0 and Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. After i build the solution for SampleCredentialProvider from the sample folder in SDK 7.0 my dll file is created, i copy the dll file into my Windows\System32 folder and i run the Register.reg but nothing is happening at login. According to the documentation in the login screen i should be able to see new users(Administrator and Guest). What have i done wrong? Is there a trick or something?

Thank you.

Are you on Windows 7 64-bit? If so, check to see whether you are building the Win32 version instead. Use the Build > Configuration Manager and make sure Active solution platform is x64, and the Active solution configuration is Release.
