Hi I used before py2exe and it doesnt work for me anymore so I looked up for new way and found you some how i get this error after running the .exe

Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
{C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp_MEI43122\tcl} C:/Users/xxx/AppData/Local/Temp/_MEI43122/tcl8.6 C:/Users/xxx/Desktop/xxx/lib/tcl8.6 C:/Users/xxx/Desktop/xxx/lib/tcl8.6 C:/Users/xxx/Desktop/lib/tcl8.6 C:/Users/xxx/Desktop/xxx/library C:/Users/xxx/Desktop/library C:/Users/xxx/Desktop/tcl8.6.1/library C:/Users/xxx/tcl8.6.1/library
C:/Users/xxx/AppData/Local/Temp/_MEI43122/tcl/init.tcl: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.6.1, need exactly 8.6.9
version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.6.1, need exactly 8.6.9
while executing
"package require -exact Tcl 8.6.9"
(file "C:/Users/xxx/AppData/Local/Temp/_MEI43122/tcl/init.tcl" line 19)
invoked from within
"source C:/Users/xxx/AppData/Local/Temp/_MEI43122/tcl/init.tcl"
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list source $tclfile]"
This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

I tried and installed the new version but it seems not to take it from my pc instead from the code.
If i run cmd and run wish and look for version it tells me 8.6.9.

What can I do?
Thank you in advance

When you install Python, there is a tcl option that is enabled by default - did you deselect this?

Try reinstalling your Python (making sure you do not disable that option) and package again.

everything fine im using python 3.7 - My plan is to have a .exe and the files needed for this in a folder and there i have a the old tcl 8.6.1 so he gets the one from the folder. Do you maybe know how to update the one from 8.6.1 to 8.6.9?

I'm unsure sorry, I do not do a lot with tcl/tkinter myself.
