Can you try running the installation with
msiexec.exe /i Tor...msi /lv log.txt
and check the log file it produces. You must have somewhere a reference
to the drive G on your system which msi requires. For example, msi
checks all user paths (e.g., "my documents", ...) on start and if one is
missing (which it shouldn't) you'll get that error.
