...I would appreciate if you could do some testing before I replace the Version 1.
Tested on 32-bit Windows XP with default settings, and on 64-bit Windows 7 with all paths changed. Works fine on both. All the software packages appear to match and work with each other.
Just one tiny "oddity" with the installation of POV-Ray 3.7. After the program has been installed, a message pops up:
--------------------------------
Completing the POV-Ray for Windows Setup Wizard
POV-Ray for Windows has been installed on your computer.
As the installer does not include the editor DLL's, unless you
clear the Download Editor DLL's checkbox, clicking Finish will
launch your browser to download them.
--------------------------------
Unchecking the box, to see what happens (i.e. don't download the DLLs) then gives:
--------------------------------
POV-Ray for Windows Editor DLL's
The installer will add the editor DLL's to your installation of
POV-Ray for Windows v3.7.
Press Next to continue.
--------------------------------
It proceeds to install all the DLLs anyway, even though it never tries to connect to anything first. It looks like the question about downloading them is redundant, and they are in the package already. But I don't know if you have any control over this sequence, or if it is internal to POV-Ray.
