Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

There are two problem scenarios, which might meed different solutions.
1. Cannot install x.y(.z) for the first time, or if it does install, it does 
not run.  Zap all may be appropriate.
2, Cannot upgrade installed x.y.z.  This seems to be due to corruption of 
z.y.z. The current solution seem to be to re-download x.y.z installer (if 
deleted), which means remembering .z.  Then fixing (maybe). Or zapping x.y.z 
and maybe fiddling with the registry?  I went through this once and it is mess, 
and not something for non-expert users.

Would it be sensible for installer to check for TCL_LIBRARY and if found, 
display value and mention that it might interfere with install?
