python 子线程不运行,Python Tkinter在另一个线程上运行子进程，以避免GUI不响应

I've been fighting with Tkinter for a while now and have exhausted most the resources I have for referencing this. I've found a couple similar topics here but none quite bring me to where I need to be.

I've got a long running (not long actually, it only takes 10-12 secs) python script that silently install an application using subprocess from the CLI. Subprocess worked and it successfully installed the application, however, the GUI locks (i.e hangs/freeze) after the execution (and the program no longer run the succeeding code). I know I have to use threading here but I've already tried using it to no avail.

As part of my learning process, I cloned a repo from Github and modify it to run on Windows (since it only run in MAC platform) and planning to extend it, and this is the part where I got stucked. This is my first time to use TKinter and I apologize if I have missed something stupid or not asked the question in the right way. Hope you can help me and thank you in advance for the assistance.

Code can be found on this link.

I was able to resolved problems with my GUI by using mtTkinter and by referring to this post.
