For Tk, try AS perl. Pick a version, then point PPM at Bribes.org and install Tk from there.

For the (re)learning thing; I have two pieces of advice:

  1. Start.

    The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be able to frame specific questions for us to help you with.

  2. Detail (for yourself as much as anyone), why does your application need to be an .exe?

    It isn't hard to install AS perl -- not much more complicated than installing a Android App; and billions of non-tech users can do that.

    And the second step of downloading your application should be simpler still -- if you do it right.

If it is "A rather complex application"; then the users will need to have a certain level of smarts in order to use it, no matter how simple you contrive to make the interface; so maligning those same users as idiots is disingenuous. Give them some credit.

If you can document downloading AS perl

click this link; click "run"; wait; click "next"; click "I accept ..."; click "next"; click "next"; click "install"; wait; click "finish". (That took all of 5 minutes.)

Then you can do the same for setting up PPM to use Bribes; and then installing Tk.

And the same again for downloading your application.

And, in the process you've weeded out 95% of those that would become maintenance and support nightmares if you delivered your application more simply; they just won't get far enough to bother you.
