To install the beta, create a new folder. It can be there by itself in the main 
POV-Ray folder, or as a subfolder in the bin folder. unzip the files to that 
folder. Create a shortcut to the beta version.
You can now use either the regular 3.6.1 or the 3.7 beta version. When a new 
beta get available, overwrite the old beta with the new one.
It's importent that you keep all the files from the regular release as the are.

POV-Ray 3.7 no longer use the "pvengine.ini" file. Those settings have been 
moved to the registry.
