Hi Femi,
                    Yes, ActiveTCL and CMake packages I pointed you to  
are the executable versions. You also have source versions for these  
packages, but I thought in your case, its not very useful to compile  
it from source. It is useful to see how VTK compiles from the sources  
however (there is also a VTK exectuable installer package with  
precompiled libraries).

So, install ActiveTCL and CMake, ensure that you have Visual Studio  
compiler handy, if not, download the Visual Studio Express Edition  
(free version) from the microsoft site.

After that, follow the link that I gave your earlier, outlining the  
directories that you need to create and how to use CMake to configure  
and build VTK.

Let me know how it goes!!

Best regards,

Elvis Dowson
