I have the same problem Knud experienced. Using POV for rendering in LPub3D 2.0.19 generates the same "Failed to set render options" error message he reported, when asked to render an LDR file containing a single steering pulley piece.
POV-Ray 3.7 by itself can render its example woodbox.pov fine. And both Stud.io and LDCad 1.6 Beta 1a can call POV and successfully render that one piece steering pulley LDR file. Only LPub3D fails.
Looking at the earliest fail point in the LPub3D log file, it reports that it cannot find the steering pulley 3736.dat in the LDR file, and very helpfully reports exactly where it is looking. But 3736.dat is clearly in the complete.zip file being examined. See screenshot below.
Trevor suggested to Knud that the Preference for "Ldraw Root Directory" shouldn't be in the Program Files folder, even though the AIOI put it there. I think the confusion is over the word "Root," and whether it really means "Part Library." I tried setting the LPub3D preference to the LDraw folder containing the part library, and there was no change to the failure reported in the log file.
Any and all ideas are welcome for solving this problem. I haven't figured out how to attach thumb size images, they are full size in this edit mode, and it looks like I'll have to post again to get the last two files, <sigh>
