Comment(by Sebastian):

 Replying to [comment:4 Shondoit]:
 > Caveat: when using 'requireAdministrator' the installer might install
 geoip and torrc to the administrator's profile.
 > Best practice is to not install user data, but create on first run. (Or
 you can install default user data to %ProgramFiles% and copy on first run,
 no problem)

 Looks like we should go with the copy approach (tho this needs a Vidalia
 patch...) Also, we'd need some logic to copy the new version when a new
 Tor gets installed.
