Tortoise SVN-Missing context menus

Well, why would someone bother to write something in her blog, on a Monday morning? Very well. After several attempts I have now successfully installed Tortoise SVN in my Windows 7-based PC. What's the big deal?

I have TSVN installed in a Win-XP based PC, a couple of years ago. It was a straight forward installation. With the Win-7 installation, it simply did not work. I mean, the context menus did not show up at all.

But for everything, there is always Google. After reading several posts, I found one useful. I did reinstall/uninstall/ the TSVN and restarted the PC. Still did not work.

Then, I installed the TSVN and did a "repair" installation immediately. Guess what! this works.

Strange, but I would imagine that there are at least a few others who may stumble upon such a random misbehavior. Perhaps this post is useful for a few, if google lands you here.
