UTF8 encoded TORRC does NOT parse non-Latin paths
Unpack this Tor archive to C:\
It will create the following hierarchy: C:\Проверка\Tor (for executables, libraries and torrc) C:\Проверка\Tor\Data (for data and geoip)
Configuration file, torrc, is encoded UTF8. It has this line: DataDirectory C:\Проверка\Tor\Data
If I run tor.exe -f torrc, the output as follows ''[warn] Error creating directory C:\Проверка\Tor\Data: No such file or directory [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Couldn't create private data directory "C:\Проверка\Tor\Data"''
Now let’s replace UTF8 encoded torrc with ANSI encoded torrc and Tor works as expected.
