Hi, is there any reason why the windows version of 3.7 beta 34 installs 
into:

 c:\documents and settings\<username>\application data\povray

when using XP without asking??  IMO thats a really bad place for software, 
in a user profile!!!

I then tried to run it only to find out it has an expire of....TODAY! 
Terrific.  This put me off the beta versions last time, the one time I 
decide to try the new version out again and again I'm locked out. 
Wonderful!

Why wont 3.7b let me install it where I want?

Why does 3.7b have an expiry date in it when there is no new beta to take 
its place?  (why does it have one at all!??!?!)

I've been using POV for years and years but this sort of thing makes me look 
elsewhere, its really not neccessary...

Cheers Dre
