I just installed Geany 18.1.1 on my Windows 7 Pro x64 laptop. When I first installed, it didn't installed to the proper location (wanted to do C:\users\username). I reran it, telling it do do so as a administrator. This time it properly installed to C:\Program Files (x86) as expected. The contextual menu was created as expected. I suspect that you need to do a deliberate Run As Administrator.

I've recently installed Geany, but the "open with geany" option isn't there when I right click my files.
Things I've tried to fix it:
- Reinstalling Geany, ---the obvious first step---
- Uninstalling Notepad++, ---because it also creates a context menu item for a similar pupose but actually works, so I thought there was a slim chance of a conflict.---
- Reinstalling again, but also unticking then re-ticking the checkbox for "context menu". ---just in case there was an improperly set flag in the install code, this had a chance to set it right.---
Things that might be relevent, but might not:
- I first installed the version without GTK, but realised that was a mistake and so uninstalled, then installed the correct version.
- I'm running Windows 7 Pro (64bit).
