I checked again on Windows XP to understand why it is working there, but I forgot that I was never able to run a recent 0.43 Pd version on this box (I mentioned this before; I guess the switch was also between 0.43.1test4 and 0.43.1test5). However, the mentioned file is missing here as well, so no, there is _no_ strange unzip-thingy going on. However, I overlooked that the allegedly missing file actually is bundled, but at a different location: <pd-install>\bin\tclreg12.dll. Yo, although I don't really have a clue which file is supposed to be located where, I was still able to help at a least a little bit.
