Comment:

 no this is a new bug:
 "[Warning] Failed to open GEOIP file
 C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\tor\geoip.  We've been configured to
 use (or avoid) nodes in certain countries, and we need GEOIP information
 to figure out which ones they are."

 Apparently when moving stuff from Roaming Profile dir to Local Profile dir
 "
 0.2.16  11-Feb-2012
   o Make the default data directory in windows be located in the Local
     AppData instead of the Roaming one. Fixes bug 2319.
 "
 the default location in TOR (not Vidalia) wasn't changed OR the Bundle
 installer places stuff in wrong directory.
