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.


I was having the same issue on Windows 7 64-bit. I reinstalled a number of times, but still could not see the context overlays in Explorer. So I looked at the changelogs of TortoiseSVN and saw a recommendation to do a Repair install. That solved my problem.


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.


I had the problem with my total commander and uninstall/reinstall several times, but the real "problem" is tortoise settings. From http://shalom.craimer.org/info/tech-journal/articles/653/The-context-menu-and-icons-for-TortoiseSVN-dont-appear-in-Total-Commander-but-the-do-appear-in-Windows-Explorer.-Why.html

  • "Repair" in the TortoiseSVN's installer
  • Restart
  • In the TortoiseSVN settings (right-click in Explorer and select "Settings..." under "TortoiseSVN" in the context menu) -> "Icon Overlays" uncheck the checkbox labelled "Show overlays and context menus only in explorer."

Repair install fixed the problem.
