Was the box for installing tkinter and IDLE checked?
How did you try to run IDLE?
Can you run Python itself -- from the start menu or command prompt, the 
latter either with > py or > python
Is so, does 'import tkinter' work?  Does 'dir(tkinter)' has a couple 
hundred entries?
If the above, what does 'import idlelib.idle' do, or at command line, 
'py -m idlelib'?
