Running Windows 7 Home at home, 64 bit. Loved XYplorer so much that I bought a license.
Running Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit at work. TortoiseSVN (64 bit version) intalled.
Tried XYPlorer on this machine. XYplorer doesn't see the TortoiseSVN menu items or icons. FWIW, the 64-bit version of Explorer++( http://www.explorerplusplus.com/ ) works fine.
Anyone know if I can install 32-bit TortoiseSVN as well as 64-bit?
TIA.

Yes you can install 32-bit as well.
This is a Frequently asked question and features here:

Edit: Oops. TheQwerty beat me.I'm on 64-bit Windows and certain items are missing from the shell context menu. Why?
On 64-bit Windows, 32-bit applications only show 32-bit extensions, and 64-bit applications only show 64-bit extensions.
A 64-bit application that installs shell extensions should also install the 32-bit versions, but this is sometimes not done. So if a program installs only 64-bit shell extensions they will not show up in 32-bit applications like XYplorer.
Workaround: Often this can be fixed by installing the 32-bit version of the application "side-by-side" with the 64-bit version.
