The log says (literally):

Apr 21 11:44:35.318 [Warning] Failed to create child process flashproxy-client: 
Diese Anwendung konnte nicht gestartet werden, weil die Anwenungskonfiguration 
nicht korrekt ist. Zur Problembehebung sollten Sie die Anwendung neu 
installieren.

Depends.exe says it's a missing msvcr90.dll. Which is interesting as there
is a copy in the portable firefox, so the bundle doesn't expect it to be
present in the system. Also says 'Error: The Side-by-Side configuration
information for "c:\dokumente und einstellungen\ak\eigene dateien\tor
browser\app\PYOBFSPROXY.EXE" contains errors. '

When I copy the msvcr90.dll into the directory containing the pyobfsproxy
the missing dill is fixed, but depend.exe still complains about the borken
side-by-side configuration, and it still doesn't come up.

Packing for windows is hard. :-( I will file a bug if you don't deem
this to be a problem with XP being to ancient (service pack-wise).

PS: The typo in the german error message ('Anwenungskonfiguration') is real.
