This is a feature of the BLT installation program for Windows. It has some
specific expectations, and if things don't look right, it reports "corrupt
installation" and aborts. I got this same error when trying to install on a
systm with a perfectly functional Tcl/Tk, but I didn't have administrator
rights. I think it is because you can't write to the windows system
directory.

Sooo, the only real trick is to get BLT files into the right places in the
Tcl installation. If you extract from the archive, and copy these files
into d:\tcl (or wherever), I think you'll get a functional BLT extension.
