where did you put the dll? did you check the registry like what I said in previous post? is there any information shows up when you run the reg.bat?
is your win 7 32 bit or 64 bit? I still have issues on win7 64 i think because it is trying to shove it in sytem32 and im pretty sure on 64 it needs to go into syswow64
I'm pretty sure in XP 32bit you can put the dll into any folder, but for 64bit, probably it's different.... I'm still digging why and how let it work, any suggestion?
I've been trying to use this but whenever I try to execute the reg.bat file, it says
"

ah....did you check if you can use "regedit"?
how about change a user which also has admin authority?

64bit OS user:
can you please try to use your local regasm.exe instead of the one inside the zip package?
In reg.bat, replace regasm.exe with "%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm.exe"
Use the dll in the OLD zip package, NOT the x64 version. The old one compiled with "any CPU" option and should be compatible with both x86 and x64.
I still haven't gotten my 64bit os run, so please tell me the result, thanks!

Sorry it works now. Just read that a reboot fixes it. Maybe you should put that in the OP. Thanks for making this, makes finding some of these apk's so much easier on my laptop.
Question...
If I wanna move the dll to the /system/32 directory, would I have to put the reg.bat in there too? Or could I just move the dll & run the reg.bat from the desktop? I just like keeping my desktop as clutter free as possible

yes, you have to move reg.bat there as well,,but after register, you can delete everything but apkshellext.dll
I will put a "reboot" there
I'm glad to hear you like this! I'm trying to add more stuff on this, how about install to your phone from context menu?
I'm not sure yet,,, I will be glad if you want a try.
If you cannot or don't know how, please wait for my good news

you are not using XP, right?
right click reg.bat, you will see "run as adminstrator"
it's due to somehow regasm.exe don't care the dll in current directory but searching for it in system32 directory,
solution :
Add full path before apkshellext.dll
or
Use variables : %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm.exe /codebase %cd%\apkshellext.dll

I'm using Vista and was going to try that, but it doesn't give me that option. Don't know why. Is there anything else I can do, I could really use this functionality.

Hi, All
I found it's difficult to find a correct apk file among names when I want to install one to my lovely G1, then I did a windows extension.
you need .NET framework 2.0 or above installed.
download the dll here http://code.google.com/p/apkshellext/downloads/list
Works Only on XP 32bit and possibly on win7 32bit.
Doesn't work on x64 platform for now. It's ok if you want a try
extract all stuff in the zip,
excute reg.bat,
after register successfully, you will got, probably you need a reboot
please feedback directly on the project page or mail: guo.jingang@gmail.com
It's created with VStudio 2008 express and c#, you can also find the source on project page.
I will keep updating this. Good luck!5Auto-Installer

all thanks to thread starter2
Try copy and paste the following in place of the install script. This automatically gives the script (bat file) admin privileges without the necessity of right clicking and running as admin (to which many people are having dramas with).
Also try downloading an application called FileTypes this allows you to unassociate the apk extension from that which it is currently associated and possibly the very reason for blocking the view of the apk's icons in Windows explorer. What that means is that if you have the apk associated with say 7zip then the icon will no longer display in Windows explorer. You need to first unassociate apk and then the icons display perfectly.
Further to this, you may do some registry hacks to make the apk display using the apkextension posted in this thread AS WELL AS your favorite archiving app. PM me the archive app WinRAR,WinZIP, 7Zip or what ever and I will make you a reg file that you can run to allow everything to work (note I will need to know what version of Windows and 32bit or 64bit as well).
Here is the script code:
