 I just downloaded [1] and checked its GPG signature.

 After installing it, it fails to start tor.exe, because the path to the
 file is wrong.

 Vidalia assumes tor.exe to be in

 C:\Program Files (x86)\Tor\tor.exe

 but there is no such folder:
 C:\Program Files (x86)\Tor\

 Running a search shows that tor.exe is located here:

 C:\Program Files (x86)\Vidalia Bridge Bundle\Tor\tor.exe


 Setting the correct path to tor.exe in vidalia fixes this issue.

 Inexperienced users will not be able to find and fix the problem and
 therefor will be unable to setup a tor bridge.

 I'm happy to test any updated (test) packages or to provide further
 information if needed.
