Long enough been doing the POV-Ray / Mega-POV  installation "by hand" ?

Let it run "by itself".

To install Software you need their "Installation-Files".
As exampel:
- POV-3.5 (you need "povray35.exe")
- Mega-POV (you need "megapov-1.0_windows.zip")
- and to avoid "handwork" you need the "pov35-autoinst.exe". from
http://www.it-berater.org .
  Let it work for you.

1. Thats all. put it all together somewhere. (Desktop ?)
2. Start the installation script "pov35-autoinst.exe".
3. go eating, take a bath.
4. come back, see everything is ready.

What if you have an POC 3.5 installation and you only want to install
Mega-POV 1.0 ?
- Ok, just don't supply the "povray35.exe". If its not there it will not be
installed.

And if you prefer not to use Mega-POV, just want have installed POV-Ray 3.5
?
Same procdure. Just don't give it the "megapov-1.0_windows.zip" and the
mega-pov
installation is skipped.
