I am unable to uninstall TortoiseSVN. Every time I do, I get the error "Key not valid for use in specified state". Error message appears again and again, even when I restart and try to install again. How do I resolve this error?

This is not a problem with TortoiseSVN, but an issue with the Windows Installer Service. The installer service for x64 machines seems to be broken after installing a windows update KB2918614 (available somewhere in August).
Current solution: Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> select "View installed update" -> locate update called "Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2918614)" and uninstall it. Restart will be required
