Comment(by Shondoit):

 The default install location on Linux is /usr/share/tor/, which is used as
 shared non-writable data, if I'm not mistaken.
 The equivalent for Windows would be "C:\ProgramData\tor" (Vista/Win7) or
 "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\tor" (XP)

 For the NSIS installer, this seems to be done like:
 {{{
 SetShellVarContext all
 SetOutPath $APPDATA
 File "geoip"
 }}}

 This requires a change in tor to read the file using CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA.
