64_Bit Shell Namespace Extension Development

Migrate our existing Delphi shell namespace extension code into a 64 bit platform. You may use components (such as [login to view URL]) to facilitate your task, we will purchase the components for the project once your bid has been approved. First, install MagicRAR from www.magicrar.com. Then, investigate our existing shell namespace extension - it basically lets you browse any archive like a regular Windows folder, on all 32 bit Windows versions. This is technically called a non-rooted shell namespace extension. Our extension is clever and even lets copy/paste, drag/drop, and other common shell operations from its custom folders. Your shell extension must support the same range and breadth of functionality, only in a 64 bit platform (64-bit Explorer cannot load 32-bit shell extensions, so unfortunately recoding is necessary). To perform the actual data (de)compression tasks, you will be using the "Codex API" (attached document describes the available APIs in detail - look under the Codex API book, Function Reference book), so all you have to do is just work on the shell extension, and not worry about handling archives. You will be required to provide the full depth of functionality that is currently available in the existing MagicRAR 32-bit shell extension.
