Thanks for that, I've updated the installer.

That sounds like some sort of cygwin issue I'm afraid, or at least it
looks like some sort of incompatibility between the Tcl and the cygwin.
You might want to make sure that the Tcl installation comes from the same
sort of timeframe as the cygwin installation. For that matter, are you
sure your Tcl installation comes from the cygwin project at all? If it
didn't, that might also explain the new form of tcl_platform.
