SVN commands does not appear in context menu

I've just downloaded and installed SVN Tortoise, but no commands appear on the menu. How is that possible?

Solution 1:

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.

Solution 2:

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.
