Comment(by cypherpunks):

 I should append that message to add a bit of info:

 Previous to v0.2.4.10-alpha-win32-1, when I tried to install alphas into
 \PROG FILES (x86)\, as administrator or not, Tor would tell me it
 installed correctly, but the Tor dir and files were never created in \PROG
 FILES (x86)\. Thus I had to install Tor alpha into \APPDATA\ or \MY DOCS\.
