I have installed tortoiseSVN 32 bit and 64 bit versions on 64 bit windows 7 machine. I uninstalled all the previous versions (the versions of previous installation can't remember) of tortoiseSVN and try to install tortoiseSVN 1.8.3.24901 64 bit version. but I got this message and exit the installer.
Please uninstall all 32-bit versions of TortoiseSVN before installing TortoiseSVN 1.8.3.24901(64 bit)
I reboot the machine and cleaned the registers but still get the same message. how to prevent this?
Answer
Sometimes some garbage stays behind, in unknown folders. I had a little nightmare when I installed a 64-bit version in Vista 64, then a 32-bit and then tried to return to 64-bit.
I would suggest you the approach I used: install again a 32 bit version, uninstall it and try installing the 64-bit version you wanted. This way, whatever dependencies svnTortoise has will be mapped again by the new 32-bit installation and will be likely removed when you uninstall it.
EDIT: according to lakshman's observation, it is not recommended to restart Windows after uninstalling the 32-bit version.
