Summary:                    vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.dll cannot be found when
trying to create a vtkTkRenderWidgetInteractor using vtkpython.exe
Description: 
I built VTK 5.6.1 (MinSizeRel) with Visual Studio 9.0. by running the ALL_BUILD
target, and then ran the INSTALL target, which created a vtkpython.exe file in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\VTK\bin

if I run the example:

vtk-5.6.1\Examples\GUI\Python\ImagePlaneWidget.py

with vtkpython.exe, I get the following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\VTK\bin>vtkpython.exe
C:\Users\jmht\Documents\vtk-5.6.1\Examples\GUI\Python\ImagePlaneWidget.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

    interp.call('load', filename)
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't load library "vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.dll": A
function specified in the import table could not be resolved by the system. 
Windows is not telling which one, I'm sorry.


vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.dll has been built and is located in the C:\Program
Files (x86)\VTK\bin folder.
