Who called you annoying?  I certainly don't think you are.  I was merely 
pointing out a pertinent fact.

AFAIK, the Windows version of POV-Ray expects files in certain 
locations, and looks for values in the registry.  These are exactly the 
kinds of things that installers set up.

If you don't want to deal with such issues, then the generic CLI version 
is easily distributed as a ZIP'd archive.  Once the final sources are 
available, compiling said version will be trivial.
