New submission from Matt <matthall.oxf...@gmail.com>:
IDLE will not open; it does not give an error or even appear on the
process list.
I am using Windows XP on an IBM Thinkpad. I tried the prescribed
solution on Issue 4049, and it returned this message:

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

I am very new to Python (and programming in general), and I have no
idea how to fix this.
By the way, I did install the program for all users.
