CustomShell:
No.

ReproducibleScript:
After installing TCL/TK 8.3.1 (the binary was downloaded from Scriptics web
site) and moved the directories tcl8.3/library and tk8.3/library to a
different location so that they fall into the directory structure of our
product, and then pointing the Registry entry
/H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Scriptices/Tcl/8.3/Root to the new location, both
tclsh83 and wish83 failed to start. The error message was "could not find a
usabled init.tcl". 

The same directory structure of our product worked fine with Tcl/Tk 8.0.
One of the reasons we did not upgrade to Tcl8.1 or Tcl8.2 was that they
lacked the registry support. From the README file of Tcl8.3, it seems the
registry support is back, but it still does not work.

DesiredBehavior:
Could you please fix it ASAP? We need it for our costumers.
