: When I try to install the new version of TOR I get the error message:

: Error opening file for writing:

: C:\Program Files\Vidalia Bundle\Vidalia\vidalia.exe

The typical causes are:  1) Exit from a running Vidalia. 2) you don't
have permission (non-admin account). 3) out of disk space.

: Also, I had a question regarding a query of a friend. I showed him how
:to use TOR in orer to get access to Facebook in China and he says that
:no longer works. Is it impossible to use TOR in China at the moment,
:or would there be some way of fixing that?

China has been blocking the list of public relays by IP address since
September 25.  They appear to have updated the list of public relays
around December 24th.  Look into using bridges in China, tor still works
that way.
