[BioC] Re: LimmaGUI

Hi Binita,

Sorry to hear you've been having trouble installing limmaGUI and 
the Tcl/Tk extensions it needs.  Generally the easiest way to 
install the extensions in Windows is to use ActiveTcl:
http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActiveTcl/

ActiveTcl has a pretty good setup wizard.  You should log in as 
administrator before running it so that it creates an entry in 
the Windows Registry.

If you are trying to install limmaGUI without ActiveTcl, then 
you may be able to ignore the warning that ActiveTcl could not 
be found.  I do have a bundled version of R + some Tcl/Tk stuff 
+ limmaGUI, limma etc. somewhere on the limmaGUI site
http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/limmaGUI/

so if that's what you are trying to use, then maybe you can 
ignore the warning about ActiveTcl, but it certainly wouldn't 
hurt to install ActiveTcl.

Always trying to improve installation methods, but there are 
various licensing and packaging issues I've had trouble with 
along the way.

Hope this helps,
James
