An aggressive merge, although I do not think the code is harmful. Kathy
and I were trying to finish it on Friday but ran out of time, and then
Kathy and I were both afk this entire weekend. When we tested a Windows
build that includes the patch, we confirmed that the UAC prompt does not
appear (good) but no error message was displayed (bad, or at least not
what we expected). That is why we did not mark it as ready for review. We
will do some more testing early this week and can fix the error handling
with a followup patch if necessary. Since it is so difficult for users to
shoot themselves in the foot in this way (given the standalone nature of
our Tor Browser install), I do not think reporting an error is crucial.
