[vtkusers] Recent (nightly) issue: vtk 4, TCL, Win2000

[Nigel Nunn]

Hi Christopher, 
 
Last Saturday, I struggled with similar "package require" 
problems using the prebuilt v4.0 nightlies.  Looking into 
things, I noticed the installation put one of those old 
DOS pathnames into the registry, 
 
  D:\vtkNig~1\bin\vtk.exe "%1" 
 
Changing this to 
 
  D:\vtkNightly\bin\vtk.exe "%1" 
 
seemed to help?  Then checked that TCLLIBPATH matched, 
(forward slash for those reading along)  e.g. 
 
System / Advanced / Environment Variables / New... 
 
  variable  TCLLIBPATH 
  value     D:/vtkNightly/Wrapping/Tcl 
 
Settings in the registry [Start/Run/regedit] now look like: 
 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tcl 
 
  Value data: 
  vtk.Document 
 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\vtk.Document\shell\open\command 
 
  Value data: 
  D:\vtkNightly\bin\vtk.exe "%1" 
 
Now all the vtk TCL demo scripts run from any directory. 
Vtk 4.0 looking mighty good--nice work, all!
