good catch, thanks.

the installer package is indeed on the disk image
	 % ls -ld /Volumes/TclTkAquaBI-8.4.5.0b1/Packages/TclAE.pkg
	drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  102 Jan 13 22:23 
/Volumes/TclTkAquaBI-8.4.5.0b1/Packages/TclAE.pkg

but due to a bug, tclAE gets installed into the root directory of your 
hard drive, instead of /Library/Tcl :-(
	% ls -ld /tclAE2.0
	dr-xr-xr-x  5 root  admin  170 Jan 15 13:38 /tclAE2.0

you can move it to the right place manually via
	% sudo mv /tclAE2.0 /Library/Tcl/

sorry about that, it will be fixed in the final 8.4.5 release...

Cheers,

Daniel
