Install just TortoiseMerge software and context menu items

Question

I really love the TortoiseSvn diff software. I can download them standalone as a zip, but I really love when iI can select two files and then right click and from context me

Answer 1

I needed something similar (just a standalone app to make diff files) and was able to copy the following out of the Tortoise install directory (C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\) to make TortoiseMerge work on its own (similar to the accepted answer's suggestion). Maybe extract them from the full installer if you don't have it installed already?

• TortoiseMerge.exe
• libsvn_tsvn.dll
• libapr_tsvn.dll
• libaprutil_tsvn.dll
• vcruntime140.dll
• intl3_tsvn.dll
• libsasl.dll
• mfc140u.dll
• msvcp140.dll

As far as the context-menu entry:

• How add context menu item to Windows Explorer for folders and probably needing multiple "%" placeholders (e.g. myprogrampath\path\path\executable.exe %1 %2)
