Dear list members!

I would like to install VTK4.0 on a Windows system, but 
unfortunately I was not quite successful so far. It would be kind, if 
you could help me regarding the following questions:

1) Do I have to use vtk40Core.exe and vtk40TCL.exe ( for the use 
together with TCL)

2) Is it ok to install both in the same folder?

3) Could anybody be so kind and tell me how to proceed after 
running the above mentioned exe files? Or is there any description 
in the net? The read me files I found in the distribution did not help 
a lot...
When I tried to run a vtk example script, I got the error message 
tcl833.dll not found. To overcome this problem, I have copied all 
tcl/tk dlls into the win/syst folder. But after that I had to deal with 
the error message: tcl.ini not found ...inproper TCL installation.
However TCL works fine.

I use the Active Tcl 8.34 distribution on a Win98 PC.

A couple of years ago, I used vtk 2.2. The installation wasn't a 
problem at all. I just had to unzip the given executable ...

However,  I would be happy about any kind of help ...

Best wishes,

Lukas
