I posted this over at the Nik forums, too, but I thought maybe someone here has run into this problem and might be able to help (I've been googling all morning).
I've just moved to a new Windows 7 64-bit system and after installing HDR Efex Pro 1.2 (downloaded today), its not showing up in the Lightroom 3.4 Export Dialog. All my other Nik plugins are working fine.
The install completed without errors and it recognized Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge. The plugin does show up in Photoshop. But I purchased the Lightroom version, so I have not tried activating it with my serial number in Photoshop. The HDR Efex Pro plugin shows up in the Lightroom Plugin Manager and is enabled. I checked the path of the plugin and it is correct. I've tried rebooting several times. And I've tried uninstalling and re-installing HDR Efex Pro 1.2.
I select 3 images, right-click and choose Export, and the Nik Software folder does not appear in the presets of the Export dialog (like it did on my old system). So I haven't even got to launching HDR Efex Pro to activate it.
Any ideas?

Got this resolved. Thanks, Doug!!
For some reason the export preset did not get installed properly. I was able to create my own preset with the "Export To:" drop down box set to "Nik Software", then everything works like usual.
