When trying to install Unlocker 1.9.1 on my 64 bit PC, I get an error
message stating that it is not suitable for 64 bit machines.

Is there a 64 bit version?

Be on the alert for bundleware though. I don't use Windows 7 64 bit so I
can't tell you if this setup file contains any.

Installed the 64 bit, but no menu appears by right clicking? No options
either, so basically cannot use it.

According to this, the old version 1.2 supported 64-bit versions of
Windows Vista and Windows XP (which was really the XP GUI slapped onto a
crippled version of Windows Server 2003).

http://ccollomb.free.fr/ appears to be unresponsive or dead. This used
to under where Unlocker's site was found. Looks like he moved to
http://www.emptyloop.com/. There it shows there is a 64-bit download
(but it is a separate download from the 32-bit version; that is, there
isn't one installer that includes both 32- and 64-bit versions and
installs the appropriate version). You have to download the correct
bit-version for your OS to match its bit-version.

The menu appears on the above version, but nothing happens when one
selects it.

Yup.

The official site for Cedrick Collomb's Unlocker is now permanently
hosted on:

http://www.emptyloop.com/

You can contact him directly to verify. He's been quite responsive in
the past:

ccol...@yahoo.com

Personal use only.

Shame, because it's really pretty, and it works.

Their download works for me but then I wouldn't bother downloading it

downloading it from the *author's* site to get the latest version?

Unlocker also adds a context menu (right-click) for files. Both
products add an extension to Windows Explorer.

Yeah, I saw that one, too, back when someone mentioned it.

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.comp.freeware/msg/00aaaeeee5e004d2

It's been 10 months since I last compared Unlocker and LockHunter. They
were close but, as I recall, I liked Unlocker which would automatically
show a prompt window to let me select an action to unlock a file. With
LockHunter, and after I noticed some error about a file being locked or
inuse, I had to manually load Windows Explorer and right-click on the
file to then use LockHunter to unlock the file. I liked Unlocker
showing the prompt right after the lock error occurred, not by me
manually getting LockHunter to run on the file.

It's a beta ("At the moment LockHunter is in beta stage. So use it with
care!"), and judging by the fact that their other program (LockHunter)
is shareware, the final version will probably cost money. Time will tell
of course.

Their other programs are USB Safely Remove [worth every penny] and
Zentimo [wasn't tempted]

The 64 bit version from the officials site works fine.

Thanks.
