PowerArchiver 11.64.01 now properly installs both 32bit and 64bit shell extensions under all versions of 64 bit Windows (Xp, Vista, Windows 7), so in the case you use some 32bit file manager utility under 64bit Windows, or even if you use 32bit version of Windows Explorer (which happens when Explorer is started by 32bit app under Windows 64bit), you will now get proper 32bit shell extension of PowerArchiver 2010.
