 Hello
 I have always used Tor with the program on one partition and the profile
 on another.
 I simply copied the profile whare I wanted it and changed profiles.ini to
 IsRelative=0
 Path=[absolute path]
 That worked fine and I kept my usual settings after updates.

 I just updated to 7.0.6 and that doesn't work any more.

  - if I do as above it "cannot start" (or if it does it complains that the
 proxy settings are wrong - although I set "no proxy").

  - if I use Profile Manager to create a new profile Tor is in English,
 although my installer version is French - and a lot of things are missing
 from the new profile.
 Can anyone tell me how to get round this?
