C.1. Deploy TortoiseSVN via group policies
The TortoiseSVN installer comes as an MSI file, which means you
should have no problems adding that MSI file to the group policies
of your domain controller.
A good walk-through on how to do that can be found in the knowledge
base article 314934 from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314934
.
TortoiseSVN must be installed under
Computer Configuration and not under
User Configuration. This is because TortoiseSVN
needs the CRT and MFC DLLs, which can only be deployed per
computer and not per user.
If you really must install TortoiseSVN on a per user basis, then you must
first install the MFC and CRT package version 10 from Microsoft on each
computer you want to install TortoiseSVN as per user.
You can customize the MSI file if you wish so that all your users end up
with the same settings. TSVN settings are stored in the registry under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TortoiseSVN
and general
Subversion settings (which affect all subversion clients) are stored in
config files under %APPDATA%\Subversion
.
If you need help with MSI customization, try one of the MSI transform forums
or search the web for “MSI transform”.
