Tcl Dev Kit USERPROFILE usage

jeffh — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 23:11:07 +0100

The teacup portion of TDK expects the $USERPROFILE environment variable to be defined and point to the user's home directory. The easiest work-around is to create this Windows env var. The use of this is noted at:

We will look into what alternatives are best when USERPROFILE is not defined (this is possibly only a Win9x issue?).

First I installed ActiveTcl to F:/program files/TclTk where F is an external USB drive. Then I downloaded TclDevKit, and then downloaded and installed the Active_Tcl_Pro_Studio_Windows license. I just clicked the file and I got a popup window telling me the license was installed. The license probably installed on drive C, my internal hard drive, not drive F.

When I installed TclDevKit, I again chose F:/program files/TclTk as the directory to install to. This produced the following error message:

can't read "::env(USERPROFILE)": no such variable
