TortoiseSVN works fine on Vista 64 bit for the user account who installed it. When I login as a different user, TortoiseSVN is not there. I tried running file explorer as administrator. It seems that TortoiseSVN only attaches to explorer for the user who installed it.

How do I get TortoiseSVN to work for users other than the installer? Thanks.

Wasn't there a step during installation when it asked you whether or not to install for all users?

I worded my question badly. It works for other accounts - the context menu shows and works, but the icon overlays were not showing. I realized I set the dot net hack variable for the administrator account only. Once I moved the settings to apply to everyone else, the icons came back for the non admin user. I know that I really don't need the hack for vs 2008 - I'll eventually turn this off.
