Has anyone successfully run Avalanche 4.51 in iTest 5.0 or 5.1?

Hi all, I am trying to run an avalanche 4.51 config in iTest 5.0 and 5.1. It seems to get past the tclAPI part but hangs in the console screen. The progress bar scrolls and nothing happens. My TCL version is 8.5.9. Sorry for the bad output below.

I believe it could be a problem with unsupported tcl version. Currently, iTest only support TCL 8.4.19 or higher (8.4.20) in-order to work with iTest v5.1 and Avalanche v4.51

Currently, TCL version is 8.5.9 is not the supported version for iTest 5.0 and 5.1. We already raised a concern with our developers "Support for TCL v8.5, 8.6 with iTest integration and Avalanche" and it is going to be implemented in our next version of iTest releases.

So could you please give a try with TCL 8.4.19 or 8.4.20 and share me the results.

FYI: Please refer to the iTest release notes for compatible Avalanche releases. I believe the latest tested/supported Av release for iTest is 4.46 at this time. The tcl vs could likely be the issue here however please note that even if you do get it working you may encounter unknown issues. For tested/supported tcl versions with Avalanche you can refer to the Avalanche release notes which do include 8.4.19.

I am having issues locating TCL 8.4.19 or 20. ActiveTCL makes you pay and tcl.tk provides source code that have to compile. I cannot get the tcl.tk source to compile on windows.
