I tried both:
> tor --service install -f "x:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Tor\torrc"
and
> tor --install -f "x:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Tor\torrc"

got from tor:
Running on a Post-Win2K OS, so we'll assume that the LocalService
account exists.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
    The Tor service will run under the account "NT
AUTHORITY\LocalService".  This means
    that Tor will look for its configuration file under that
    account's Application Data directory, which is probably not
    the same as yours.
Done with CreateService.
Service installed successfully
Service started successfully

Same issue persists.




Regards.
