Research direction

Start by locating IShellFolderViewDual_SelectItem and the pointer operations across the source files. Reproduce the crash under x64, then verify that the controls remain safe when LargeAddressAware is enabled.

Description

bug

I'll be updating all sources shortly to correct this as well as making all pointer operations large-address safe so LargeAddressAware can be safely enabled in projects containing these controls.
