No context menu in Windows 7 for TortoiseSVN

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I've installed the most recent 64-bit version of TortoiseSVN from the official site, restarted the PC and can't see a SVN context menu even when shift-right clicking.

I've uninstalled this version and tried with 32 bit one, but still no luck.

They say in the FAQ it happens when you install the 32-bit application on a 64-bit OS, but I've tried both and none works!

Ther开发者_运维百科e's a movie on YouTube showing installation process and many comments with the same problem below. So I guess I'm not alone, but I'm not able to Google for right answer.

What do I do?

For several updates of Tortoise this happened for me, too. I'm using Windows 7-64 and the 64 bit version of Tortoise.
A solution on several PCs was to run the Install 2 times (without uninstalling inbetween).
After the second install, everything works fine again.

I normally have to perform a Repair after installing TortoiseSVN.

I had the same issue and installing/repair multiple times did not work for me.

The solution for me was registry permissions, as documented here:

TortoiseSVN right click menu gone when selecting files

Download ShellExView and check whether you enable Tortoise SVN or not.

I tried to install a 32-bit version of TortoiseSVN on Windows 7. I expected to see the context menu (on right click) after the installation, which was not the case. Though I have tried to do this earlier on a Windows XP-based PC and it worked, on Windows 7 this was not working.

I tried to install/uninstall/re-install/ TortoiseSVN several times and restarted the PC each time as well. Still, it did not work.

I tried to repair the installation, as mentioned in the above post. Then, on right-click I see the TortoiseSVN context menu.

You may have some luck with right click TortoiseSVN.exe > Properties > Run Application as Administrator.

Just for the people which those solutions has no effect (which was my case). In my case the problem was very silly. In order to appear the context menu, the destination folder MUST be under source control.

Therefore in my case the solution was just to set the destination folder under source control just with:

"Right Click" -> TortoiseSVN -> Add...

And afterwards when moving the file to that folder using the right button, the "context menu" appeared.

I hope it helps.

After installing, repairing and all the hustle that's suggested here (unsuccessfully) I thought I might as well try to start the actual application to see if there was some "secret" setting to activate the missing context menu icons.

All I got was an error message of Windows (Windows 10 Ultimate 64) that there was obviously something wrong with an missing DLL.

No wonder that the right click entries are missing when the relying program itself is buggy.

So I installed the second newest version (in my case: 1.12.2 64) and voila, it works. right click icons back again!

All you have to do is install TortoiseSVN, then reboot the computer then context menu will show up.
