I think you have to set the environment variable
TCLLIBPATH to something like (dependent on
installation of VTK): c:/vtk/wrapping/tcl

Add the following line to your autoexec.bat

SET TCLLIBPATH=C:/VTK/Wrapping/tcl

Be careful to use forward slashes (/) and not backslash (\).

After reboot start wish and write

puts $auto_path

which shall include the above mentioned path.
