Select the variable that is called "Path" and click Edit. Go to the "Advanced" tab (you may be already on it) and click on "Environment Variables". Go to Control Panel, System and Security, System, then click on Advanced System Settings (on the left) to open the System Properties window. If you use windows 7 (and possible vista) open your environment variables window. However, it doesn't have a character limit that I've ever hit, so don't worry too much. Again, cygwin is useful, because if you whack a reference in to that then you don't have to worry about doing it again if you suddenly decide diff would be useful. The second thing to check is that your PATH variables point to the relevant folder. I personally like SlikSVN, if you are using windows, but they are all much the same. The other option is to download and install one of many independent versions. Not only do you get access to svn.exe, but you also get a whole host of other goodies, such as diff and scp that can be useful, depending on what it is you do. Theraze has already mentioned cygwin and I would strongly recommend that. If all you have done is install tortoise, you won't have SVN.exe on your machine. However, it does expect you to have SVN already on your machine. If you have installed tortoiseSVN, then well done! It's a useful client, especially if you plan on modifying the code yourself. The advice above is all correct and sound, but I don't know your level of knowledge, so will go back to the basics. Personally, I blame the lack of good, clear online guides - too much info is available for server installations without clearly differentiating. SVN can be troublesome to install the first time if you aren't used to it.
