Consider the Lie algebra of the group of diffeomorphisms of a $n$-dimensional torus which is also known as the derivation algebra of the Laurent polynomial algebra $A$ over $n$ commuting variables, denoted by $Der\,A$. In this paper we consider the Lie algebra $(A\rtimes Der\,A)\otimes B$ for some commutative associative unital algebra $B$ over $\mathbb C$ and classify all irreducible modules for $(A\rtimes Der\,A) \otimes B$ with finite dimensional weight spaces under some natural conditions. In particularly, we show that Larsson's constructed modules of tensor fields exhaust all such irreducible modules for $(A\rtimes Der\,A)\otimes B$.
Keywords: Witt algebra, Virasoro algebra, current algebra.
