I hit a very similar issue when I installed 1.4.7 on my home
computer. I think it means that TortoiseSVN needs the run-time
libraries supplied with Visual Studio. I worked around the
problem by searching the Microsoft Download Centre
(www.microsoft.com/downloads) for

"Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package"

and installing it. There are three versions, for ordinary 32-bit
Windows (x86), and for X64 and IA64 as well.

I think the TortoiseSVN installer should have included these
libraries (as merge modules?) but I don't know enough about
installers to know whether this is easy or difficult to do for
future versions of TortoiseSVN.
