[vtkusers] tcl example execution problem - VTK4.2/windows

[Ketan Mehta]

Hi All,

Thanks for helping me out.

Now it works. 
We need to set environment variable in Windows via system properties tab
as : TCLLIBPATH={C:\Program Files\vtk42\lib\vtk\tcl}
Note :: Braces are very important.. without which it does not work.

While executing Cone6.tcl example, on first click cone went out of box!!
Is this Bug or local problem ???

Brad, can we write / update the installation guide. Since most of the notes
are either old or refers wrapping directory etc. Even we have old 4.0 tcl
installer for vtk, which I think is not required now.
Any thoughts?

Thanks 
Bye
Ketan
