First, be sure that the Tcl\bin directory is on your PATH.
Second, it might be a good idea to install into directories that have
no spaces.  Alternatively, always specify such directories with their
shortened form.  E.g. C:\Program Files\Tcl\bin ==> C:\PROGRA~1\Tcl\bin

Try those first (if you haven't already).
