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

Aside from first rebooting...

Are you running 64-bit or 32-bit Windows? Tortoise runs as a shell extension so if your Windows OS is 64-bit and you installed the 32-bit version of Tortoise, you won't see the context menus.

On a side note. If you use a 32-bit tool like Total Commander in a 64-bit OS, and you want context menu extensions in both Explorer and Total Commander, you will actually have to install both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of Tortoise.

Answer 2

I had exactly the same problem on my Windows 7 system. Absolutely nothing in the context menu suggesting any presence of Tortoise SVN. I did all the installs, re-installs, repairs, reboots, etc, etc, suggested above.

What finally fixed it for me was installing the 64 bit version.

Answer 3

Using 32 bit Win XP I uninstalled rebooted then reinstalled and rebooted again and it fixed the problem

Answer 4

Similarly to what others above have suggested, i encountered this problem and the root cause was 32 v 64 bit. I installed WANDisco Subversion - and in the process auto installed TortoiseSVN as well.

The version it installed was 32 bit however, and i had to uninstall that and reinstall the 64 bit version of TortoiseSVN separately.

Answer 5

You might be checked "Hide Menus for unversioned path" in Context Menu inside SVN settings. Uncheck the box and check or Press Shift + right click so that the context menu will appear.

Answer 6

1. Install
2. restart machine

It worked for me
