Re: Packaging Tcl/Tk Application on Windows: Single File Executable

Hi,

I tried the steps you gave. But when I run the exe, I get the console
window. It doesnot show the UI of my application.

Here are few clarifications sought

1) I am looking at exe which has bundled the image files and which
shall not on the disk. Hope freewrap takes care of that
2) Do i need to package any tcl/tk dlls/libs or freewrap takes care of
that ..
3) the filelist file generated for the images has absolute path for
each image name. Is this causing problem to run the app ?

Please revert as i cannot get the executable to run

Thx
Andy
