SVN commands does not appear in context menu

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.

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.

There is a long list of reasons why TSVN isnt working in your case. Your best bet is to have a look at the TortoiseSVN support list, failing that post a message to the list - they are a frendly bunch.

Ouch, looks like I cant post links yet - go to google-groups and look for TortoiseSVN, there are two lists tortoisesvn-dev and tortoisesvn, dont ask on the dev list you will be kindly asked to ask on the 'user' list

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.
