Comment(by bastik):

 Sorry for being silent. I install as admin and copy all needed files to
 the limited user account, for the geoip file (now files) I copied them to
 both locations. Also I did not use a vanilla torrc and/or vidalia.conf

 Just updated to 2.4.10-alpha and this is still an issue. Installing as
 admin, replacing the config files and running as admin.

 The installer places geoip files under
 C:\Users\[$username]\AppData\Local\Tor

 DataDirectory is
 C:\Users\[$username]\AppData\Roaming\tor

 Tor looks for the geoIP files in the DataDirectory.

 I don't know what has to be changed; I remember a ticket saying that
 placing stuff under \Roaming\ is not a good idea. If it's known where to
 put the files, you can either change the default data directory or make
 the installer place them under the current default directory.
