Access denied Tortoise SVN 64 bits

Question

I was using tortoise svn 32 bits in XP without problems.

Now, I installed Windows Vista 64 bits and Tortoise SVN 64 bits.

When I try to do an "SVN Update", I got the error "Can´t open file C:....svn\lock: Access denied".

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try running the cleanup command ?

Answer 2

Since you reinstalled your Windows, maybe the Access-Rights are configured wrong, so that an unknown SID is the owner or has read/write permission.

Maybe check your the file permissions of your local SVN files and make sure that your current user / your Tortoise process has the access rights to change these files.
