There is Torcap, but do not think it is maintained. Plus, it is written 
in Delphi. And -- as I recall, it uses a injection library that ships 
without source code.

However, DLL injection isn't a complete solution on Windows. The proper 
solution would require an NT driver. In the past, that'd be a TDI or 
NDIS filter driver. With modern versions, it'd require Windows Filtering 
Platform (WFP)-based driver, perhaps in conjunction with an NDIS filter. 
AFAIK, Tor tends to prefer the virtualized Linux solution on Windows, 
TBB or TAILs. Eg, see Andrew's comments here:
