And a long download later I learned that the obfsproxy bundle doesn't work on this old XP (just the obfsproxy plugin, actually, the browser itself does).
Oh? How come? Can you please file a ticket about it and provide details?
The log says (literally):

Depends.exe says it's a missing msvcr90.dll. Which is interesting as there is a copy in the portable firefox, so the bundle doesn't expect it to be present in the system. Also says 'Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information for "c:\dokumente und einstellungen\ak\eigene dateien\tor browser\app\PYOBFSPROXY.EXE" contains errors. '
When I copy the msvcr90.dll into the directory containing the pyobfsproxy the missing dill is fixed, but depend.exe still complains about the borken side-by-side configuration, and it still doesn't come up.
Packing for windows is hard. :-( I will file a bug if you don't deem this to be a problem with XP being to ancient (service pack-wise).

PS: The typo in the german error message ('Anwenungskonfiguration') is real.
