Re: Tcl / Tk on Windows

 Hello!
 What is the easiest way to install and use Tcl / Tk on Windows
from the perspective of a Unix user?
 I would install Cygwin, but I am writing a program for someone else
and perhaps would not like the idea ...
 And I never really used Windows, I have almost no knowledge how to deal
with it ...

There are several ways to install and run Tcl/Tk applications on the common platforms, i.e. Windows, Linux and MacOS. The problem is getting working binaries for the latest Tcl versions 8.6.16 and 9.0.
Magicsplat only supports Windows, Freewrap only Windows and Linux. Tclkits and sdx are, in my opinion, the only *portable* way to do this.
The problem with tclkits and sdx is that it is old, very old, and no longer maintained.
There is no place on the internet where you can download binaries for the latest Tcl versions.
The KitCreator web interface is a great approach, but the last supported version is 8.6.12.
I appreciate that Tcl/Tk is still being maintained, but I do not want to port (configure/make/install) the language, I want to develop applications using the language.
How can I use new versions without an out-of-the-box runtime environment? In my opinion, this is the biggest threat to Tcl at the moment.
