I tried running install.exe. Choice 14 said "use 'edit with vim'". I typed 14,
pressed enter, and the menu came back up now showing "do NOT use 'edit with
vim'". I infer that that means the change was successful, though the feedback
is rather oblique.
Unfortunately, this did not fix the problem--I still do not have "edit with
vim" on my context menu.
(At least it is consistent with the original install, which also failed to set
that up :-)
My next step, I suppose is to review all the relevant registry keys, but I
wanted to see if there were other thoughts on this...?

Try running the "install" program which ought to be in your $VIMRUNTIME
directory (i.e., normally in $VIM/vim70), along with gvim.exe . If it doesn't
work, see
:help win32-popup-menu
:help install-registry
