Ah, so there is never more than one installation.
In that case, CurrentVersion is incorrectly stored in HKCU, as I first said.

I needed to change a particular key, and I fell over some inconsistencies.
It's not like the skies are falling or anything. If we can agree
they're inconsistencies then I can just file a low-priority issue.
It's not like there's a lot of workstations out there shared by
multiple users, anyway. (And those there are probably have their own
problems, eg. "in which user context does TSVNCache run".)

Only needs read access to perform the initial installation of TSVN?
I think there's been a misunderstanding, that can never be true.
