I am setting the status of this ticket to Needs Information.
How and where was Tor Browser installed?
Tor Browser is designed as a portable package and therefore requires write
access to its files. Please try installing it as the same user who will
use it and place the Tor Browser folder in a location where that user has
full access to the files, including write access.
A side note: if the Tor Software Error that was encountered was in fact
caused by a lack of write access, it would be good to modify tor to log a
better error message.
