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

Here is how I got around the problem:

On a fresh Windows 7 64-bit OS, I had some 32 bit applications plus the 64-bit totoisesvn application installed.

No icons in shell popupmenu!

To solve it I:

• uninstalled the 32 bit application that also used the menu,
• uninstalled the 64 bit svn
• used the regedit to manually remove any leftovers in the ShellIconoverlayIdentifyer hive
• rebooted
• and then reinstalling svn 64 bit svn,
• and then the 32-bit program.

Success! The svn menu items appeared (the 32 bit are still not visible though).

Conclusion: Install the 64-bit apps before the 32-bit applications.
