This sounds different from any Windows-related problem I remember
being reported before.  Unfortunately, you haven't given enough
details for us to be able to determine what's going wrong; although if
you're seeing the Wish window, you have no problems with asdf nor with
wish being started.

After loading ltk, before running any tests, could you do (setf
ltk:*debug-tk* t) and send us the complete transcript of the session.
Hopefully Peter and I will spot something in that output.

Also, to rule out any character encoding issues, try to verify that
Emacs, CLISP, and Tk are all running in Latin-1 locales.
