Which web postings are you referring to? The overlays work just fine on
64-bit versions.

How recent is the TCVS version you're using? Only more recent versions
of TSVN and TCVS are able to share overlay icons, and since Explorer has
a limit of 14 overlay images in total with extraneous overlay icons
simply not showing up you might have too many...
(Looks like you'll need to use the latest unstable build since the
changelog for 1.11.1 [1] says "First release using TortoiseOverlays"...)
Come to think of it - there aren't any 64-bit versions of TortoiseCVS;
so if it's overlay icons are showing up you'd have to actually be using
the 32-bit Windows Explorer, which of course means you'll have to also
install a 32-bit version of TSVN...

That turns out not to be the case... ;)
My installation of TCVS (1.11.3.1) from late 2008 on my Vista SP1 x64
box is most definitely 64-bit, and it coexists happily with 64-bit TSVN.

Well, at the very least they're doing a terriffic job of hiding any
mention of a 64 bit version on their website AND SourceForge...

I think you are right about them not heavily promoting their
64-bitness... :)
Take a look at
http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=48103
and do a search on
tortoisecvs 64-bit
... and you will see that 64-bit is even supported in the current stable
1.10.10, although as I said, I am running 1.11.3.1 ("unstable", but
works fine for me).
Looking at what got installed in the filesystem and the registry, it
looks like they tried to do what I do with my Shell extensions (and
occasionally annoy Stefan with here) - install both 64 and 32 -bit
versions, so that nobody says "I don't see my overlays/menus"! ;)
Unfortunately, it looks like the registry entries for 32-bit got hosed,
so the 32-bit extension DLL, even though present, does not have the
correct registry entries.

I am using TSVN with exactly that Vista edition and the overlays show up
fine.
However, I have not installed any other third party software displaying
overlays (as far as I know at least).
I suggest studying these:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/faq.html
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/faq.html#ovlnotshowing
If in doubt I suggest to deinstall TCVS and TSVN. Then install TSVN.
Maybe after installation reboot twice, not only once. And if they still
don't show up go to software control panel and choose to repair the
installation. That did the trick for me with when upgrading from the
previous to the current version.
You should probably install the TortoiseXYZ variant you plan to use
mainly first, to improve its chances to fall into one of those limited
number of overlay icons slots before the TortoiseXYZ variant you use
less. Always keep these limited number of overlay icon slots in mind
when trying to analyze malfunctions.
With best regards

That depends on which registry hive you're looking at. If you installed
the x64 version, then you have to check that registry entry in the x64
hive of the registry.
And yes, the msi installer will set that registry key, unless of course
some 'security' app (virus scanner) reverts that (yes, that happens a lot).
