This does not affect your repositories or working copies at all. MSI installation is disabled on my machine. Is there a. An exe installation file wouldn't help. But first make sure that MSI installation is really disabled - that can only be if your domain administrator disabled it.
Why are you using MSI instead of an exe or no installer at all? There are several reasons why we use MSI as our installer instead of something else: It's open. Everybody can see what we're doing by using MSI tools like Orca. It's easy to adjust an existing MSI for your special needs if you like. There are tools with which you can edit an MSI manually. You can't do that with an exe installer. That's important because TortoiseSVN is a shell extension which requires us to create and modify registry keys which aren't accessible to user accounts this is especially important on Vista with UAC enabled.
All other installers would require a domain admin to first 'wrap' that installer inside an MSI to do that. MSI is the standard and recommended way of installing Windows applications. It's even required now to get the "Certified for Vista" logo from Microsoft. MSI takes care of reference counting of installed modules which prevents the so called dll hell. A simple exe for you to run wouldn't work. The installer aborts with an error message There are several reasons why the installation cannot succeed: "This installation package is not supported by this processor type.
Contact your product vendor. For this kind of error message, please check out the Microsoft Knowledgebase article Q basically, check that the folder where the MSI is stored isn't encrypted or compressed "The system can not open the device of file specified" , followed usually by "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package.
The error code is ". This can happen if: The installation does not have access to the Temp directory or if the default Temp directory of the machine is not clean or does not have enough space to run the setup. The installation is being run over a terminal Server via a mapped network drive.
The installation is unable to create or write to the Installer directory in a Windows NT system environment. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer service. You need at least version 3 of the MSI installer. After installing, there is no TortoiseSVN context menu for files This problem may be caused by permission settings in registry.
Try the following: Go to registry editor using regedit. Right click on the key mentioned above, go to "Permissions" In the permission dialog, click on "Advanced" Click on "Owner" tab, click on your account and click "Apply" OK the dialog, click on "Add If you have problems with insufficient permissions to edit the registry you can work around it by downloading SysInternals PsTools Suite and launching regedit with the following command:.
This is a known issue with some upgrades, and in particular it has been reported for 1. If this happens to you, try doing a repair install and reboot of course. You may find that not all of these icons are used on your system.
This is because the number of overlays allowed by Windows is limited to Windows uses 4 of those, and the remaining 11 can be used by other applications.
And if you have OneDrive installed, that uses another 5 slots. If you then have another cloud drive tool installed, those slots can be used up. Normal, Modified and Conflicted are always loaded and visible if possible! Deleted is loaded if possible, but falls back to Modified if there are not enough slots. ReadOnly is loaded if possible, but falls back to Normal if there are not enough slots.
Locked is only loaded if there are less than 13 overlays already loaded. It falls back to Normal if there are not enough slots. Added is only loaded if there are less than 14 overlays already loaded. It falls back to Modified if there are not enough slots.
If there are too many overlay handlers installed and TortoiseSVN does not show any overlays, you can try to delete some of the installed handlers from the registry. But be careful when editing the registry! Why are the icons only visible on local and not on network drives?
Be aware that enabling overlays for network drives will slow down not only TortoiseSVN but the whole system. The problem arises because the cache tries to fetch the status for two "different" locations at the same time, but those locations are actually the same so there are two status fetchings for the same working copy at the same time.
Another way to make the overlays work is to set the "Status cache" setting from "Default" to "Shell". Why are the overlays showing the wrong status? Usually, hitting the F5 key is enough to make the overlays appear correctly you might have to wait a few seconds until the cache has fetched the status again. The treeview on the left side of the explorer is a whole other story.
It won't update the overlays, no matter how many times you hit the F5 key. That's a problem with the explorer and outside of TortoiseSVN's reach. A short explanation: The treeview always shows the whole explorer tree, including network drives and other namespace extensions.
Since these can be very slow e. Even if you tell the explorer that a folder has changed and it should update the overlays accordingly, it doesn't do so. It first checks itself if the folder really has changed and only updates the overlays if it thinks the folder really has changed. Now, since the Subversion status of a folder has nothing to do with the folder itself, the folder itself never really changes only some file inside the.
There are some tricks and workarounds to make the explorer refresh the overlays even on the left treeview, but those are tricks and workarounds, which obviously don't work all the time. There's one trick that usually works, but it is slow and TortoiseSVN can't use that trick on-the-fly - it just would slow down the system too much.
But you can trigger that trick manually by executing the 'cleanup' command on the root of your working copy. After the cleanup command has finished, you have to wait a few seconds for the treeview to update the overlay icons.
Why do the overlay icons sometimes change to random graphics? The Windows icon cache is a fairly buggy creature. You can solve this in one of the following ways: Install Microsoft's TweakUI and run the option to rebuild icons. Or increase the icon cache size. The default value is - try increasing it to see Q in the Microsoft knowledge base for more details. Or delete the file called ShellIconCache in your Windows directory. And reboot. With TortoiseSVN 1. To show such an overlay, TortoiseSVN would have to contact the repository every time the overlay is shown.
That would make explorer impossibly slow. Servers often take several seconds to respond, sometimes minutes - do you really want explorer to hang while that takes place, every time you open a versioned folder? A fundamental design feature of TortoiseSVN is that the repository is never contacted except when explicitly requested by one of the context menu items. Even with that restriction, it is still hard work maintaining a fast response. If you want to see which users have files locked in their working copies or which files need updating, use the Check for Modifications dialog and click on the Check repository button.
If I select something from the menu, CPU goes back to normal. What is happening? XP contains a known bug that causes the CPU usage to spike to percent when you access the context menu under certain configurations. This bug causes file-copy operations to halt, network connections to slow, and streaming media e.
To work around this bug, you need to disable the GUI's transition effects by performing the following steps: Start the Control Panel Display applet. Select the Appearance tab. Click Effects, then clear the "Use the following transition effect for menus and tooltips" check box. Click OK to close all dialog boxes.
Another solution that often works is to left-click the file or folder before right-clicking to display the context menu. Can I create a local repository on a network directory? You can use a repository on a network share, but only as a single user as you would use a local hard drive.
Unless you have really pressing reasons to keep your repository on a network share it is generally best to avoid doing so. Can I keep my repository on a network share instead of setting up a server? In practice this is not recommended for four very good reasons: You are giving direct write access to all users, so they could accidentally delete or corrupt the repository file system.
Not all network file sharing protocols support the locking that Subversion requires. One day you will find your repository has been subtly corrupted. You have to set the access permissions in just the right way. SAMBA is particularly difficult in this respect.
If one person installs a newer version of the client which upgrades the repository format, then everyone else will be unable to access the repository until they also upgrade to the new client version. By far the best way is to set up a real server process such as Apache or svnserve , store the repository on a local filesystem which the server can access, and make the repository server available over a network.
It is easier than you might think. Chapter 6, Server Configuration in the Subversion Book covers this process in detail. Can I store a working copy on a network share? This depends on the network share. But we really, really urge you to not do this! Even if you're using a Windows server and use those network shares, the fcntl file locking is not fully reliable. And for Samba based shares all bets are off. Which means you will get a corrupted working copy and you then will lose data!
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday you will. If you really must store a working copy on a network share, have a close look at the corresponding FAQ entry of the SQLite project.
Can I use different Subversion clients with the same working copy? Yes, you can change from one client to another whenever you want. The clients just control your working copy and the interaction between your working copy and the repository. The metadata inside the working copies used by the different clients is identical. But you can only use different clients if they all use the same version of the Subversion library. The version of the Subversion library that TortoiseSVN uses is indicated in the filename of the installer, other clients have similar indications.
You have to make sure that those versions match each other in the first two digits. For example, all clients using Subversion 1. You must also be sure that all the clients are built for the same OS. Nothing more. TortoiseSVN is an interface for Subversion, and to put it in the most facetious way possible, meaning you can actually click stuff on your screen as opposed to just using the command line.
The symbols and things that you're referring to, do not come with subversion by default. It's a feature of the TortoiseSVN interface. TortoiseSVN depends on subversion so the question "So what does subversion bring? Tortoise is a pluqin for Windows Explorer. It is a Subversion client that gives you a visual interface to Subversion and without it you would have to use the command-line client, as in svn status to see if files in your working copy have been changed.
It is Tortoise that provides those icons. But it is the Subversion server that provides the repository and checks stuff in. However, in such case the repository is accessible only locally.

It seems that the "server" is only to serve files to multiple clients.
