This is probably caused by the CD being read-only.  Wikit needs a  
datafile (defaulting to wikit.tkd in your example) and opens it in r/ 
w mode since it normally allows changes.

Try "tclkit-win32.exe wikit wikit.tkd -readonly".  This assumes  
"wikit" is indeed the proper name of the application, not "wikit.kit".

I've sent the reply to the Starkit mailing list, which is more  
suitable for questions related to starkits and tclkit.
