Can't find a usable init.tcl ... Tcl wasn't installed correctly

I built a toy tcl/tk program with an embedded interpreter. It works as
expected under Linux.

When I run the program from the Windows XP command prompt,
initialization of the embedded interpreter fails, returning a message like:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed correctly.
-----------------------------------------------------------

I tried again after executing

SET TCL_LIBRARY=C:\Tcl\Lib\tcl8.4

from the command prompt, and the Tcl_Init call succeeded.

Have I actually installed Tcl incorrectly? I just accepted all the
default settings rather dumbly during installation.

Will I have to set TCL_LIBRARY like this each time I want to run such a
program?
