Comment(by cypherpunks):

 Why would Tor want to do this integration with microsoft?  It's a privacy
 nightmare.  Read more at
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Error_Reporting  and possibly legally
 imcompatible with free software, such as Tor.  See
 http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winlogo/maintain/StartWER.mspx and
 specifically
 https://winqual.microsoft.com/help/developers_guide_to_wer.htm

 I think you're better off not integrating with Microsoft error reporting
 and make vidalia start with a master process that spawns sub-processes,
 where the error reporting is in the master so  you get better errors per
 windows.
