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?

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.
