looks like you don't have the permission to do this, i.e. administrator. if you do have administartor priviledges try uninstalling tcl/tk from the add/remove part of the control panel. failing that start a dos terminal with administrator priviledgesm cd to tcl/bin and run the uninstal .exe

Hello,

I have similar problem. However, I am not able to uninstall tck from control panel and also from dos, since, the folder Tcl\bin, doesn't exist and also there is no unistall. I am logged into Windows as administrator and I also have windows 7 - 64 bit. Could this be a problem?

Thank you in advance,
Jure

In the process of installing tcl/tk choose the option that you are installing it as administrator
