Summary: Pd-vanilla problem opening patches

Initial Comment:
Pd-vanilla v0.43.1
Win7 x64
built-in soundcard

I made a patch, saved it, and got an error message when it opened. Afterward, couldn't interact with the menu bar or close the patch window.
The problem does not occur in v0.43.0.

Here's the error message:

I found tclreg12.dll in the bin directory, so I copied it to the location it was search for it in and it fixed the problem, so it seems it's just looking for it in the wrong place, or the dll ends up in the wrong place.
