1.5.2 NT install question(s)

[Mark Jackson]

I've done this twice recently and encountered problems both times.

On a fresh system (never had Python or Tcl/Tk) things (for example,
PySol) seem to work, but whenever I use Tkinter (specifically, when
_tkinter is imported) I get a warning box about not being able to find
tcl80.dll in the specified path.  (tcl80.dll is present, in Program
Files\Tcl\bin.) What's wrong, and how do I put it right?

On a system where 1.5.1 (with Tcl/Tk) had previously been installed, I
carefully uninstalled both before installing 1.5.2.  Here both "import
_tkinter" and "inport Tkinter" are OK, but Tkinter._test() yields:

    TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
	{} ./lib/tcl8.0 D:/tc18.0/library {D:/Program Files/library}
    
    This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

(init.tcl is present, in Program Files\Tcl\lib\tcl8.0.)  What's wrong,
and how do I put it right?

Thanks in advance.  Sorry to be asking such trivial-seeming questions,
but I found nothing helpful through python.org.  And I haven't dealt
with the innards of NT enough for its design coherence to become
manifest (yeah, right).
