    I just ported by Tortoise SVN installation from Windows XP over to Windows Vista. I finally got it to install, by using the MSI "Run as administrator" reg file trick posted in an earlier discussion in this forum.

    Now, however, when I try to export a repository (via right-click -> "SVN Checkout") and I punch in the URL of what I think my local repository directory is, I get the error message "this is not a valid URL." It won't even let me browse for the URL. What gives?

    Hi Sally,

    Good question. Our team troubleshooted your issue and came up with the following:

    You can find out what the path is by browsing to your repository directory, right-clicking the repository, and selecting "repo browser."

    It will show you the URL of your repository. In our case, the local repository started as: file:///C:/

    Hope that helps!
