Hi Toren,

the easiest way is to download from http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/downloads.html

You should choose the right species from the table.
The left column is reserved for alpha / binary releases, so do not pick one of these.
Also do not choose the bottom part (TclSh)

In my case I downloaded the Windows UPX (this is important!) version 8.4.16.
The downloaded file is called  tclkit-win32.upx.exe.

In order to use it properly you need to do the following:
   1. rename the downloaded file to wish.exe
   2. move the file to a directory which is in the search PATH for your OS (in Windows this would be in a directory which is in the environment variable PATH)

After doing that retry using it.

Good luck,
   Arie

P.S.
   Alternatively you could download and install ActiveState Tcl/Tk, but that's like shooting with a nuclear bomb at a bug ;-) 
   You can download it here http://www.activestate.com/Products/activetcl/

Ok, not to sound like a total rube, but where is the easiest place to
get wish.exe? I was able to download and install wish85.exe, but it does
not appear to be the same.

I did use the setf for tcl85 but when I do the tktest I get

EVAL: undefined function LTKTEST
   [Condition of type SYSTEM::SIMPLE-UNDEFINED-FUNCTION]

This looks as if with-ltk is called, but it cannot start the Tk
subprocess. To use Ltk "out of the box", the program called "wish"
needs to be executable via your system path. To test, open a dos shell
and type "wish". If Tk is properly installed, it should start up.
Alternatively you can do
(setf ltk:*wish-pathname* "c:\program files\mywish.exe")
where you have to replace "c:\program files\mywish.exe" with the
correct path to where you installed "whish".

HTH,
Peter
