TSVN doesn't write stuff neither to stdout nor stderr.

Not necessarily. I'm not sure how TortoiseProc is called, but maybe
you're using something which expects a console program and not an UI
program? Could it be that the way you start TortoiseProc it just can't
pop up the UI?

Or look for another function you can use to start another process. Maybe
you need just another function and it will work? Seems to me that your
function doesn't call CreateProcess but another API which doesn't work
with UI's (winmain based programs) but only with console apps (main()
based programs).
