Windows install has problems. Guido asked that I use this newsgroup to discus further

[Sam Schulenburg]

I find that if I copy the Tcl/Tk DLLS to the DLLs folder after installing
Python152 that I have no problems. This has worked for me with both WinNT
and Win95/98
I also use wise installer to distrubute this release along with my modified
IDLE files to the engineers that I support. I just have my installer perform
this copy after executing the Python release process.
