Comment (by db):

 Why do all of the above?

 1) The Tor installer lets me choose where to install it. Therefore it
 should "just work" wherever it is installed.
 2) As a matter of principal, applications should be installed in
 application directories, away from user data and user data shouldn't be
 where users run programs from.
