Ok.

In that case, what is this key:
"HKLM/Software/TortoiseSVN/Directory" =
"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN"
doing in HKLM?
Seeing as TSVN can be installed per user, this one should surely
reside in HKCU, right?
Same goes for
"HKLM/Software/TortoiseSVN/ProcPath" =
"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bub\TortoiseProc.exe"
and all the other _xxx_Path values in TortoiseSVN's HKLM.
Problem scenario: User one installs TSVN into one of his local
directories, user two installs TSVN the same way, user one can no
longer run TSVN because the above keys in HKLM points to a folder
private to user two.

Ok, cool nuff.
