 I downloaded and extracted Tor Browser bundle for Windows. I need tor.exe
 as a console client for TOR network but tor.exe does not start without
 browser.

 1) tor.exe --service install (and variations from Wiki like -options -f):
 it does not create Win service

 2) tor.exe -f [path]\torrc : According to Sysinternals Process Monitor,
 tor.exe starts, reads the file torrc, made two localhost TCP connects,
 disconnects them and exits (thread exit 4 times).

 What I am doing wrong? How I can run tor.exe in background?
