Command prompt not working after installing TortoiseSVN

I have just installed that latest stable release of TortoiseSVN on Windows Server 2003 and restarted the server. I can create a new repository using the right-click menu in windows explorer but using "svn" anything from the command prompt returns

'svn' is not a recognised internal or external command

When I have installed TortoiseSVN previously in XP or Vista it has worked fine. What am I missing here?!

EDIT: The specific command I need to run is

svnadmin load repository-name < repository-name.dmp

+4 A:

TortoiseSVN does not install the command line tools for SVN. Did you by any chance also install VisualSVN on your other machine? (which does include the command line tools)

Yes I did install VisualSVN on the other machines. Is there a standalone installer that will give the command line support? If not will the command line stop working if the VisualSVN 30 day licence expires?

You can also download directly from the Subversion project, if you don't want to go through Collab.net's registration process: http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=8100 (don't be turned off by the "Apache 2.2" label, it isn't required if you're just using the command-line stuff)

@ASk — You are incorrect. I have both TSVN 1.5.x and 1.6.x in front of me, and neither includes the `svn` or `svnadmin` executables. From the folder name, I'm guessing you (or someone else using that computer) simply unzipped the official Subversion build into the TSVN folder.

@ASk: TortoiseSVN does NOT include the command line tools. Double-checked on 3 machines. Please check facts before voting something down.

@Ben: registration, eh? Huh, hadn't realized they were pulling that crap. Removed the link, shame 'cause it looked more stable.

I installed a recent nightly (TortoiseSVN 1.6.99, Build 16452 - 32 Bit -dev, 2009/05/25 19:19:31), and got no Subversion tools installed.

@Shog9 — Collab.net's page is much clearer and easier to navigate, too. I'm not sure why they thought registration was a good idea. :-/
