SVN commands does not appear in context menu

Question

I\'ve just downloaded and installed SVN Tortoise, but no commands appear on the menu. How is that possible?

Answer 1

Incidentally I had this same problem on Windows Vista 64 bit. Had to do the reinstall / reboot thing twice. Installer was TortoiseSVN-1.6.12.20536-x64-svn-1.6.15.msi.

Answer 2

Did you restart your machine?

Update:

I ran into the same problem myself! It happened when I installed version 1.6 over 1.5. When I restarted my machine, I found Tortoise entries in Start Menu but not via context menu. When I clicked on "Settings" an error message appeared. So, I uninstalled 1.6 and installed it anew. Now it's working again! Yes, available through context menu. I believe it's a bug.

Answer 3

I was just chasing a red herring, maybe someone else experienced the same thing:

I thought the context menu wasn't appearing any more for moving versioned files. Turns out I was trying to move the files to a folder that I hadn't added to subversion yet. As soon as I added the folder in Tortoise, the context menu options re-appeared. Doh!

Answer 4

I had TortoiseSVN in Explorer context menu, but it was missed from UnrealCommander context menu.

I had to remove all entries of TortoiseSVN from registry manualy. Because repair installation had no effect for me.

But then after re-installing TortoiseSVN I had success.

Answer 5

It can be fixed by repairing TortoiseSVN and immediate re-booting the OS. Make sure that your are using the correct version for your OS ( 32bit || 64 bit).

I faced the same problem with Window Server 2003 R2 when I upgraded to TortoiseSVN to version TortoiseSVN-1.6.12.20536-win32-svn-1.6.15. Now it's solved.

Answer 6

I was having the same issue on Windows 7 64-bit. I reinstalled a number of times, but still could not see the context overlays in Explorer. So I looked at the changelogs of TortoiseSVN and saw a recommendation to do a Repair install. That solved my problem.
