Hello folks,
I recently downloaded a file with the EXTENSION tk. I can’t rename it or extract/create its content with Winrar or Winzip. I googled to find its extension name was TOOLKIT.
I can’t find any application to RUN this file (don’t know what to do with it ), I scaned with Kasperskyand no Virus/Trozan was detected, I hope some expert from could throw some light to this problem.

I found the developers page: http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/
But they dont have any setup exe file instead they have files in Source code Tcl 8.5.8 Sources

This downloaded zip file has many folders and txt fles: how do i even use this thing:
The readme says i would need Tcl 8.5 Source Distribution and Visual C++ 6 or newer or Msys + Mingw [http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml]

i can't download Visual C++ and the mingw.org MinGW site let me download only a bootstrap which will download ANOTHER file.

How to i compile this crap and get to run the tk file.

Any help is greatly appreciated:

A Non-Programmer's Introduction to Tcl/Tk
TCL/TK uses TCL as the file extension for it's source files, not tk.

TK, as the OP has indicated, is a toolkit for TCL/TK. It's useless unless you know TCL, or have a program that uses TCL and needs it, much like downloading a VBX file is completely useless unless you either know 16-bit Visual Basic or have a program written in 16-bit Visual Basic that requires it.

Basically, you can't "run" a tk file anymore then you can run a dll file.



I see some fun to be had...
