I changed this to a feature request:  it's not "a bug" 
because we don't try to set PATH.  My experience with an 
earlier Tcl/Tk installer that did try to set PATH convinces 
me I'm not going to try to do it at all:  it requires too 
many gimmicks across Windows flavors, can fail in dangerous 
ways on Win9x boxes, and if you're writing .bat files for 
Windows you know how to set it yourself anyway (but by 
hand, where you have a fighting chance of detecting and 
recovering from failure modes).
