Issue #24771: Adds vcruntime DLL to tcltk
Steve Dower added the comment:
Rather than change the tcl and tk project files (which is not as easy as
updating the Python projects - I spent an hour trying), I've added the
vcruntime DLL to the MSI with tkinter.
Distutils has already been updated to not include it any more, and I really

Vista. Trying to import _tkinter results in ImportError: DLL load failed. On
the other hand I have no problem importing _ctypes whose .pyd file is at the
same location as
