RE: Re: TortoiseProc Launch failed

I also received this error after updating to the latest TortoiseSVN. I managed to solve it. Here are the details:

1. I successfully did "SVN update" with TortoiseSVN-1.6.7.x (not 100% sure what version I had, but it was fairly new). I've used TortoiseSVN successfully for a few years now. I'm on Windows Vista Business 32-bit SP2 (ENG). Running Windows Security Essentials.

2. TortoiseSVN saying reported that there is a newer version. I updated (without uninstalling first) to TortoiseSVN-1.6.9.19725-win32-svn-1.6.12.msi. No other updates to Windows recently (including no Windows updates in the background).
Download URL: http://ignum.dl.sourceforge.net/project/tortoisesvn/Application/1.6.9/TortoiseSVN-1.6.9.19725-win32-svn-1.6.12.msi

3. Did *not* restart the computer.

4. Tried to use TortoiseSVN, e.g. "SVN log". Received the error dialog:

"TortoiseProc Launch failed: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail."

All "TortoiseSVN" submenu options gives this including "TortoiseSVN -> Help".

5. Restarted the computer.

6. Still recieving the error.

7. Scanned the Windows Registry with CCleaner. There was nothing related to TortoiseSVN, but I cleaned out all issues anyway.

8. Still recieving the error.

9. Uninstalled TortoiseSVN via the Windows Control Panel. Confirmed that there was nothing left.

10. Restarted Windows.

11. Removed %ProgramFiles%/TortoiseSVN/, because it contained a BerkeleyDB License.txt.

12. Scanned the Windows Registry with CCleaner. Detected: "Unknown File Extension *.patch", and 3 "Missing MUI References" for TortoiseProc.exe, TortoisePlink.exe and TortoiseMerge.exe". Cleanup again.

13: Reinstalled above TortoiseSVN.

14. "TortoiseSVN -> Help" and "TortoiseSVN -> Show log" works now, even before restarting the computer.

15. Restarted the computer.

Not sure if Steps 11-12 are needed.
