As always in such situation; always mention your used environment: which OS? How many bit? Which BRU version? Installed or portable?

The context menu entry "Bulk Rename Here" is only installed if one use the BRU
installer (BRU_Setup_xxxx.exe) to bring BRU on his box.
If one use the portable zipped "No-Installer" version (BRU_NoInstall.zip) there is no system change at all, of course.

If you download the "No-Installer" version then you won't benefit from the "Bulk Rename Here" context-menu,
nor will *.BRU files be associated with the application. However, you will have a fully working program which is
portable and can be run from a write-protected disc, or on a computer where you have no installation privileges.

But the context menu handler is delivered with the zip archive too > "BRU\All\BRUHere64.dll" and "BRU\All\BRUHere.dll"
You only have to register it on each pc you work on.

If you wish to take advantage of the "Bulk Rename Here" Shell Extensions then run command
REGSVR32 BRUHere.dll
from the program directory.
This means:
- be sure to have this DLL at an place where it will stay for ever. (at default in the same folder as the BRU exe too.)
(Because if you move this DLL later the context menu item will not longer work)
- open an DOS-Box (dos command prompt) (In the Run tab type in the following command: cmd)
- In the cmd console enter the following command: REGSVR32 X:\your path\to\BRUHere.dll
- press enter key
You should see an message like: DllRegisterServer in BRUHere.dll succeeded
Picture-Google for picture "653-screen-shot3.png" to get an clue how that could look.
