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!

There'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?

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!
