----------------------------------+---------------------------
 I want to use tor(.exe) + meek bridge as a standalone application, without
 the Tor browser, but after changing the torrc to use the `meek-client`
 instead of `meek-client-torbrowser` the bootstrapping stucks at 85% when
 azure meek bridge selected. The `meek-client-torbrowser` executable fails
 to start without the Tor browser.

 The amazon meek bridge bootstraps and works fine using the `meek-client`
 executable.

 Operating system: Windows10 1703
 Tor: 0.3.2.10
 Tor Browser (and other binaries): 7.5.3 (latest) 32-bit

 Added line to Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\torrc:

 `ClientTransportPlugin meek exec TorBrowser\Tor\PluggableTransports\meek-
 client`
