Re: [cx-freeze-users] Tcl8.5 not installed/included? But the dll files were copied over to dist

[Kevin H. <kev...@tw...>]

Thanks for the timely response Anthony,

I could copied the tcl8.5 and tk8.5 directories into where I was running
Main.exe (the result) and it would run just fine. So at least the immediate
problem has been solved.

I think it'd be cool if these directories could be copied over into the
library.zip, but I'll admit I have 0 working knowledge of how things
actually work at the moment on the larger scale of things.
