[Tortoise SVN]: No context menu in Windows 7?

Question

Hello, I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

I've installed the most recent 64 bit version version form official site, restarted PC and can't see a SVN context menu even when shift-right clicking.

I've uninstalled this version and tried with 32 bit one, but still no luck.

They say in FAQ it happens when you install 32 bit app on 64 bit os ( tortoisesvn.tigris.org/faq.html#nomenus ), but I've tried both and none works!

There's a movie on YouTube showing installation process ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lKZjnaXVrc ) and many comments with the same problem below. So I guess I'm not alone, but I'm not able to Google for right answer.

What to do?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You may have some luck with right click TortoiseSVN.exe > Properties > Run Application as Administrator.

Answer 2

For several updates of Tortoise this happened for me, too. I'm using Windows 7-64 and the 64 bit version of Tortoise.
A solution on several PCs was to run the Install 2 times (without uninstalling inbetween).
After the second install, everything works fine again.

What a... cr#p ;)

I did following:

• installing SVN 64 bit, restarting, nothing,
• uninstalling SVN 64 bit, restarting,
• installing SVN 32 bit, restarting, nothing,
• uninstalling SVN 32 bit, restarting,
• installing SVN 64 bit, restarting, works.

I normally have to perform a Repair after installing TSVN.
