 Replying to [comment:11 erinn]:
 > Okay, I've updated the bundle with the appropriate torrc information and
 Tor 0.2.4.3-alpha. There are some more edges to smooth out, such as the
 installation text

 Yup, the installation text says the bundle contains Tor, Vidalia, Polipo,
 and Torbutton.  But it neither contains Polipo nor Torbutton.  It does,
 however, contain Obfsproxy which is not listed under "Choose Components".
 This doesn't matter much, I just thought I should let you know.

 > and possibly the name of the bridge relay (right now I just have it as
 'Test', suggestions welcome).

 How about 'obfsbundlebridge', for the unlikely case that we'll want to
 count these bridges at a later time.  Not important though.

 a version to the QA list for final testing:

 vidalia-obfsproxy-bridge-bundle-0.2.4.3-alpha-0.3.3-alpha.exe

 I tried this bundle in an EC2 instance running Windows 2008 R1 SP2
 Datacenter edition 64 bit.  When the installer tried to start
 obfsproxy.exe, I got the message "obfsproxy.exe has stopped working.  A
 problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close
 the program and notify you if a solution is available."  When I later
 tried running obfsproxy.exe from the PowerShell, I got the same error.  I
 don't have any more debug information, unfortunately.  But maybe I could
 get tell you more if you tell me how to debug it.

 Is this even a supported Windows version?  Does the contained
 obfsproxy.exe run on other Windows versions?

 Of course, feel free to ask other people who are more comfortable testing
 Windows things to test the bundle in parallel to my attempts.

 (Thanks!)
