Comment (by TORques):
There is no any confusion with the TOR Expert Bundle. It contains just Tor
and nothing else. You'll need to configure Tor and all of your
applications manually. A job for experts only. I made a blind TOR relay on
Windows XP with this Expert Bundle in only 10 minutes.
http://torforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=65755
After that, since Vidalia was discontinued and can't be used with the
newest tor.exe versions, I made my own Python scripts (with STEM libs) to
manage this server and now I have again all functionalities (including the
TOR relay gracefully exit). I think this bundle is essential for the
Windows users who want to help the TOR network.
