1.5.2 NT install question(s)

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).
