I have read/searched in the help post
I have made sure my applicaiton/script runs before trying to package

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run auto-py-to-exe
Click on browse
Nothing happens in GUI. This error logs in terminal

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\amarn\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\eel\__init__.py", line 281, in _process_message
    return_val = _exposed_functions[message['name']](*message['args'])

    return dialogs.ask_file(file_type)
  File "C:\Users\amarn\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\auto_py_to_exe\dialogs.py", line 26, in ask_file
    root = Tk()
  File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_3.10.1776.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 2299, in __init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
_tkinter.TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
    {C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_3.10.1776.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\tcl\tcl8.6}



This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

I tried running

pip install Tcl

didn't worked

Expected behavior
It should open the browse popup

auto-py-to-exe version (pip show auto-py-to-exe): 2.23.0
