Comment:
When installing service without specifing torrc file:
{{{
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.
}}}
So the problem can be linked to NT AUTHORITY permissions on the torrc file
or on the entire Tor folder. The actual permission groups for the folder
and the file are: SYSTEM, Administrators, Users and Authenticated Users.
All of these groups have complete access on the torrc file and the
directory (I set it this way to try if it works), but however the problem
still remains.
