Comment (by Yeti):
Thanks, now I see, that Torbrowser misses write access for the program
directory. I guess, this check should be done, when updates exist, not
before.
I install Torbrowser into %programfiles%, where users don't have write-
access. Virtualization is disabled. Datadir I made writable (but not
executable), because I didn't find a setting for relocating it. I handle
updates manually as administrator. That's the safest way to avoid
compromizing program files.
